Trying to be Frugal..

For the past 3 1/2 yrs I have been trying to be more and more frugal. I think for 2 yrs I was kind of in shock from loosing almost everything due to Hurricane Katrina and then for 6 months I was just trying to get it together. Finally I am getting it. For the first time in 15 yrs of using coupons I am actually making them working for me . I have a stock pile full of health and beauty aids, cleaning products and some food. Not having a freezer, a small rental house, and our food needs sometimes hampers this but I am doing this. Daily I discover new ways to be better, and I am feeling good about it. Cheryl
