Thanks m - Puts some things in perspective. I have found doing somethings or making some things isn't as frugal as buying them once my time was added in. However I have also found if I end up doing excessive research on something I actually end up talking myself out of the purchase. Some people tell me I spend too much time cutting coupons, going thru sales ads and then going to 4 stores. They don't have the time they tell me. I guess it all depends on the person.

I agree Vicki,,,each family is so different and the time each one has is different. Where one might scrimp...another couldn't....
