I know it's very trendy to be frugal in this age of austerity, but sometimes I do things which even shock me in terms of how tight-fisted and frugal they seem...
e.g. I...
- save all the 'return' envelopes you get in junk mail/ credit card bills etc and use them with a sticker over for school letters etc.
- pick up the red elastic bands the postman drops
- cut up old T-shirts etc to use as cleaning cloths
- save anything with a 'blank side' and put it in a 'scrap paper' tray for use as shopping lists/ kids homework scraps etc
- always take the pens/pencils/pads from hotels/ conferences etc
What about you?
