While we are no where near the level we would like to be, in terms of our 'frugality', we are definitely making changes for the better.
I began couponing seriously in 2010 and am amazed at how much money that has saved us. I now look for sales when using coupons to obtain the best deals. Coupons are now being used for all parts of our lives: groceries, dining, gas, etc.
I'm learning all about stockpiling when a price is great. While I'm not a huge cook, I'm trying to change my meal planning so that I use ingredients that were inexpensive, rather than running out to the store to buy what I need to make a meal that I decided on at the last minute.
This is all new to me, but I am enjoying the process. It is a good feeling knowing that I am being much more responsible with what I have been given; and, while we benefit as a family, it also enables us to help out others too. And that is always a good thing to do!
