Today I am writing a post about me. For most of you that know me really well, you know that I am: FRUGAL as I like to call it OR......Spartan, abstemious, canny, careful, chary, conserving, discreet, meager, meticulous, mingy, niggardly, parsimonious, penny-pinching, penny-wise, preserving, provident, prudent, saving, scrimping, sparing, stingy, thrifty, tight, tightwad, unwasteful, wary. Sometimes this is one of my flaws, but in many ways I look at it as GOOD!
The opposite of Frugal is generous (which I don't think is true :), lavish, spendthrifty, uneconomical, and wasteful.
Lately I have become addicted to about 18 websites OR blogs that find great deals, freebies, and coupons. It is a thrill for me to get such great deals and save at least $20 at the grocery store with coupons etc. If anyone is interested in my list of websites let me know and I'll send them to you.
For those of you on Facebook you already know that I am trying to cook more and eat out less. I am NOT a fan of cooking but it's been really rewarding. I'm sure it's healthier and more budget friendly! I've been getting great recipie ideas. Keep them coming they are much appreciated!

Niggardly? If you say so!
I found out Anonymous was my mother, OOPS!
The word "niggardly", an adjective meaning "stingy" or "miserly", in the United States due to its phonetic similarity to the racial slur "the n word." The two words are, however, completely unrelated etymologically.
What does etymologically mean?
I don't know :)
Burnt nuggetly???? Do you remember that? Anyway, no way is generous the opposite of frugal!! I consider you and my self to be both. I would love that list.
