Are you frugal? I know that I am. On some things. Now yes…I do have a few splurges here and there, but I mainly try to get the best bargain for my money.

How are you frugal? Maybe we can get some ideas that others have not though about.

I make my own laundry soap and cleaners.
I only buy meat on sale.

There are other things that I just can't think of right now.

UGH!! My son lives with DH and I. He is 19, works 35-50 hours a week and goes to college full time. He is a HARD worker. Always has been. I do not ask him to do much around the house. He basically only showers and sleeps there anyway. I usually only see him on Saturday for a few minutes before he goes to work.

His responsibilities are to take out the trash on Monday and Thursday mornings. And he has to deep clean the common areas once a month. (He actually pays a cleaning lady to do this for him! Lol) and I don’t care as long as it gets done once a month.

UGH!! Not to get into too much detail, but found out that SS was put on a class C disciplinary report (whatever that is) and is now confined to his ship until they get back to the states. That means for the next four-months he cannot get off the ship at ANY port they dock at for the next 4-5 months.

And of course the story we got was so stupid that I really have no idea why he got in trouble. Apparently something happened that last time they were at a port. But….It certainly did not seem like an offence that would have this severe of a punishment.

We hear from BM more now, since SS is in military and deployed, than we did when SS lived with us.

Thanksgiving Day at about 12:30, BM calls DH. (she calls about once a month now for stupid random crap.) DH did not answer it. She immediately called back. DH answers it because he knows she will not stop. This is the following convo…
