    Question *Old topic revisited* How frugal are you?

    I have to say that I'm not nearly as frugal as I could be. I wash my baggies and keep the heat relatively low and a/c relatively high but there are definitely things that I could do much better at.
    For instance I could if I would get extremely serious cut our food bill in half. I'm gonna work on getting it down.
    There are also luxuries that I could trim out of our budget but we have chosen where to spend to maximize the most enjoyment for us both.
    So on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being the most frugal of the frugal-eers) where do you rate?

    Me?
    uuuummmmm about a 4.

    ~48 yr. old sahw, livin' it up in our empty nest, smack dab in the middle of everywhere.~

    I think we are about a 7 right now, I know there is more we can do, but I like the few comforts we have right now.

    I would say I am about an 8 but my DH is more like a 2 so we average about a 5.

    I rate us as a family at about 5. Once it is just DH and I at home I know that will improve.
