I think alot of people are!
There was a time we would provide alcohol to everyone that came to visit, put on BBQ's every weekend. Was not uncommon to spend over $100 a weekend on booze.
Now You bring your own & my kids are lucky if they get real meat a couple times a week.

I would spend hundreds. Sometimes thousands in a matter of days using without hesitation. NOW...I will break it down to pennies. Thast right. Dont cook so much food at once. I dont care if we are eating meatloaf for 3 days. Finish what was cooked before making anything else. Measure the dam laundry soap and softener. Make sure that garbage bag is to capacity before changing it. I am getting so bad. My gram is about to knock me out.
It is good to be like that to a point. But I think I am getting a little extreme. Alot extreme actually. I am not turning my underwear inside out and wearing them the next day tho. I havent gone that far . But I am getting on my own nerves.
Anyone else turn into a tight ass when they stop using?

Thanks for the laugh! I admit I am going to have to become this way, as I am out of a job and these are some tough times. All in all, you sound like you are smart to me. Does that make me a tight wad? I try to keep the heat down, wear a sweater, eat ramen noodles, and feel guilty for spending $6.60 on a pack of cigs (that's one of my other addictions). I think in this economic climate, one can never be too frugal. In fact, I used to be on this early-retirement forum where there was an entire thread devoted to ways to save money. So far, I don't re-use foil, but maybe it's not such a bad idea.
