I am to a point in my life that I just don't want more of anything. If it collects dust, I don't want it!From Bottle to Boxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16690372371233639224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697121876852690118.post-10368000448582773982008-08-29T10:13:00.000-04:002008-08-29T10:13:00.000-04:00i love shopping for recreation - so i've just channeled that energy into CVS shopping. :)Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00793109148879037341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697121876852690118.post-78807212348943413022008-08-28T15:00:00.000-04:002008-08-28T15:00:00.000-04:00I agree. I work during the school year, but I am off during the summer and school vacations. It IS easier to be frugal when I am home, but we still do a pretty good job when I'm working. As a matter of fact, we usually tend to spend less money when I'm working because I simply don't have time to shop after working all day and doing household chores in the evenings/weekends. <BR/><BR/>I do allow a bit extra for the grocery budget to allow for a few easier-to-prepare meals when I'm working, but other than that, our spending tends to stay about the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
