So I went to church today with my friend, Monica. We had a frugal moment. Monica’s been following along with the blog and is becoming more frugal every second. She’s slayed her expenses and increased her 401k savings. She’s going to a guest blog later to share how she’s changed her situation for the better. We enjoyed church service. I gave more than a few crumbled bills, but I am no where near tithing.
Here’s the frugal moment: after church, Monica and I went home. WHOA. That’s huge. After church, many people get together to go to IHOP or their favorite soul food restaurant, heck even Red Lobster. But this time, Monica and I just gave a warm hug and headed home. I’m cooking today enough food to last me for a few days next week. Eating a restaurant feast after church won’t help my frugal cause. All my fellowshipping must be done in church quarters. Sometimes being frugal means less of a social life, but really, it’s worth it in the end.

I’ve never really been a social butterfly, so not eating out or paying to get into a club or bar has never been a problem for me. It’s how I spend my money at WalMart that is up for discussion.
ohhh Chris. Tell me about Wal Mart. You’re all about about the roll back special?
I think your really getting the hang of this frugality thing ! It is hard but it is one small step at a time. Giving up eatting out is the hardest thing but a little at a time and the money just really starts to add up. Save immediately what you would of spent and it will make you feel GOOD !
Thanks, Betty for the good wishes! Fruga for life!
