Dear Frugal Family, Sorry for this vent, sorry it is long and rambling I am hurt. I was going to respond to another's post and usually would never air my hurt or grief, but didn't want to take over their post, go off topic or hijack. Hope someone reads , if not I understand . Have a wonderful...

When frugal, we often say it doesn't hurt to ask or it pays to ask. Let's name some situations where this is very true. For example, it doesn't hurt to ask department managers at the grocery store when they mark down their meats or have reduced price produce, etc. Or it doesn't hurt to ask at...

I was telling my H about a funny story the other day when I had a hot flash at the funeral director's office (taking care of some of my dad's stuff). I was having one right then, with sweat running down my face and it was only 65 in the house, so I showed him and said "just like this". HE...

I know they may come off as me being a whiney brat but I just want to get it off my chest. My boyfriend is purposely ignoring me today.:ache::ache: He talked to me a little this morning, but after a certain point he'd just not respond. (I'm away in a different town so I was texting him) I got...

Here is the back story...... In 2002 I started having back problems.. It was bad enough that I couldn't walk without a walker and was incontinent due to nerve damage. I've come along way after my surgery.. I walk fine and incontinence is gone. But I still have flare ups (like people with...

It's not often that Dh actually hurts my feelings. Last night, he came home from work at 11:30pm, I stayed up to heat him a plate for dinner and actually wanted to talk about my day too. Basketball was on. He forgot to record it, forgot to ask me to when he called, and I didn't even think to...

My mom and I were never as close as my sister and her. I always felt less important. I always felt like my mom loved her more, I know that's terrible to say, but I felt it from an early age and it has always stung. It's really very obvious now that we are adults who she favors. I called her up...

I hurt myself this afternoon. I was in my bedroom walking to the door and somehow stepped into a vent that had no cover on it. I knew the vent was there but thought I was far enough out of the way. Nope, stepped in it. Fell down hurt 2 toes, bad scrape on my leg and hurt the knee on my other...

A friend of mine found out that her husband is having an affair. She has absolute proof - he took a picture of him and one of his coworkers having s*x and she found it in his email. Nothing graphic, but you can tell what they're doing. She busted him and he told her all sorts of things for...

http://health101.org/art_robbed.htm When I ask people, "How do you feel?", many times I hear, "Fine!" But I have experienced, first-hand, that even while feeling fine, degenerative disease can be developing . And if you're like most Americans, it probably is. I'm not trying to scare you, but...

http://www.wisebread.com/does-living-frugally-hurt-the-economy My answer is no, but this is an interesting article, nonetheless. Enjoy!

I have been thinking about the post recently where it was mentioned that coupons really stink lately. So, I took it upon myself to e-mail 5 companies from which I typically buy their products and I told them that I like their product, but that with the grocery prices being so high, could they...

What your adviser doesn't know might hurt you Question: I have a continuing debate with a classmate of mine regarding why a financial adviser does not include calculations/spreadsheets when determining asset allocation. My classmate claims it is trade secrets. I claim that the adviser doesn't...

We haven't splurged in anything for a long time and yesterday while DH was getting his haircut, me and DS went to Game Stop. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's a video game store. :D I had been thinking of a way for me and DH to spend more fun time together since we can't go out...
