    Default My favorite frugal quote

    My favorite frugal quote is:

    "Use it up, wear it out ... make it do or do without!"

    Now if I could just get in the mode and put that into practice myself. *Sigh*

    Love,

    Jen

    The reason I'm posting this is 'cuz when ever I hear this quote, it does get me into that mode and also is encouraging as well.

    I hope it encourages others as well.

    I like that one! I think FrugalWitch has that for a siggie.

    I like Henry David Thoreau's:

    "A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone."

    "I am still determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance, but by our disposition." -------Martha Washington

    I always say "a penny saved is a penny earned" and I have the filled penny jars to prove it...lol! Also it keeps me encouraged to keep using those cheap $.25 coupons that come in the P&G coupon fliers. I just tell myself that it all adds up and it keeps me going!

    Here's one of mine: You can have everything. Just not all at once. (Oprah Winfrey). Did I post this already? In that case, there's another one just added to my signature below.

    I like this:

    "The safe way to double your money is to fold it over once and put it in your pocket." --Frank Hubbard


    I also like the phrase "Less is more." although I don't know where that one came from.
