Quote of the Day “The ideal husband understands every word his wife doesn’t say.” Alfred Hitchcock
Hello Thursday. Yesterday I woke up with a splitting headache and after a quick walk with Mrs. HB downtown I tossed some ingredients in the crock pot and crawled back into bed where I stayed pretty much the rest of the day half asleep. Lucy was of course by my side the whole time. I never really did seem to get rid of the headache yesterday but luckily when I woke up this morning it was gone.
Here’s looking to a productive day! Stay awesome everyone,
♥ Mavis

Some people are born frugal, some choose to be frugal, and some have frugality thrust upon them. Regardless of where you fall on that spectrum, if you study the habits of frugal people, you’ll notice similarities. Here are just a few things frugal people do {or do not do} on a consistent basis. If you are frugal, many of these things might seem familiar to you. If you are on the path to frugality, take note. Here are some habits you’ll want to adopt!
They Use Every Last Drop: Frugal people do not waste. They box their leftovers at a restaurant and then use them as a second meal. They use every last bit of shampoo and conditioner, tipping over the bottle and draining every last drop. They resourcefully use leftovers so they don’t go to waste and they re-purpose items bound for the trash.
They Repair Things: If something is broken, they don’t immediately go out and buy a new one to replace it. They fix it, or at least check to see if repairing it is more cost effective. Too often we trash things when they break and opt for brand new. I’m not sure if we do it because we are kind of a “throw away” nation or if it’s just more convenient to just toss it and buy brand new instead of tracking down a repair place, scheduling an appointment or learning to fix it yourself.
They Buy In Bulk {And Cook In Bulk, Too!}: Bulk buying is pretty much a routine practice to the frugally minded. But the seasoned frugalist {is that a word? It should be if it isn’t already!} knows there is great potential for savings, there is also potential to waste money. Knowing what bulk items your family will actually use is the trick, and then knowing how to utilize bulk buying in your bulk cooking. One of the very best ways to save money {and time and sanity} when it comes to groceries, is to prepare meals in bulk. 
They Stay In: Dining out means spending money. Shopping as a hobby means spending money. Routinely going to the movies means spending money. Having drinks out with friends means spending money. Staying in means none of that money leaves your account. That doesn’t mean your social life has to suffer. Potluck dinner parties in are awesome. Movie nights are awesome. Game nights with friends are awesome. Curling up on the couch to binge watch Downton Abbey is awesome. Fun can still be had and frugality is still in tact.
They Cook From Scratch: Speaking of dining out, it can be crazy expensive. Convenience foods can be, too. Cooking from fresh ingredients found on sale is typically how the most frugally minded families are fed. Not only does from-scratch cooking have the potential to save you big, it’s also so much healthier for you!
They Comparison Shop: They’ll never make a large purchase without researching it and shopping around first. Typically, they aren’t impulse buyer either. Their approach to spending money is thoughtful, and therefore maximizes savings and ensures they get the best deal.
They Plan For the Future: When frugal people save, they save with retirement in mind. When frugal people spend, they spend with retirement in mind. They have set financial goals and always strive to see the big picture when budgeting. They typically know how many years they have to work until retirement, they put money away in savings each month, and they are careful not to overspend to jeopardize that savings.
“Spoil” Is Not In Their Vocabulary: This goes for them and their kids. Sure they splurge every once in awhile, but there is a huge different between spoiling and splurging. I think spoiling is a lifestyle, and an expensive one. It means basing purchases on wants, not needs on a consistent basis. Cut the spoiling out of your life is you want to adopt a frugal lifestyle.
They Track Their Spending: Knowing where your money goes is essential when it comes to budgeting. Frugal people can tell you how much they spend, sometimes down to the penny. We track all the money we spend in our
