    I am a lucky one - DH is more frugal than I am. He makes his lunch everyday to take to work, shops at the thrift stores for clothes (which can be tough since he is a professional and a hard to find size), he searches through the grocery sale papers, clips and uses coupons, etc...

    I've been lucky -- is great about money. When he wants something, he thinks about it, figures out what he's willing to pay, and makes sure he has the money for it -- unless it's food. That's probably the only thing that he's a spendthrift about. He watches for the great deals, but generally when he wants something for a new recipe or concoction he's making, he buys it no matter what the cost.

    lol I'm probably more of a spendthrift than he is!
