FRUGAL LIVING IN COLUMBUS,OHIO Frugal living is a lifestyle that involves careful planning and spending as well as avoiding waste. It's not about being cheap; it's really about being practical and making the most of available resources through various methods of saving money, reusing existing items instead of buying new ones, and finding bargains and good deals. The premise is that a person shouldn't pay more for something if he or she doesn't have to.

WEDNESDAY SHOPPING AT THE THRIFT STORE
The first thing I take note of when walking in the thrift store is to see what items are on sale. They usually have two colored tags that are 50% & 75% off. Most of the clothes bought were these colored tags!
I spent $29 at the thrift store.

I got the boys:
6 pairs of pants/jeans
-Old Navy pants .99 cents
