my frugal daughter
My daughter is 21 years old and is a manager of grocery store one of a few. She is also living with her boyfriend. She has all of her Christmas shopping done except for mine and her boyfriend. Everything was bought on sale or clearance. For example $20 dollar toys for $5 a $40 watch for $12.50.
They have decided that spend too much time at work to have cable and cut it off. They have internet and netflex. Lots of video games and movies.
She buys all food with coupons and on sale. She open her dishwasher to dry her dishes. She buys all home, health and beauty products on sale or generic. Her exact words are mommy you buy too much name brand.
She is the electric natzi at her house, turns off all water, and will only do her shopping when she gets off work. They both manage grocery stores.
She cut up a credit card offer.
And she has $1500 in her savings account.
She paid cash for her car with savings. $7000. She is my frugal hero. My mommy taught me and I taught her. Mom in heaven is smiling and so am I.

Great job! You should be so proud. I am working on making my DD20 as frugal as I am. But we still have to work on it.
