Deal With It, Simply!

My husband, Randy was doing laundry when he said to me “we are frugal frauds!” For those that know me this was a cut to my heart. I said how can you say that? He showed me how our children cleaned their rooms and threw the clothes we had washed the day before back into the laundry. We have gone to extremes to save water in our home since in two years our water rates have doubled. I’ll give you our water saving tips in my next post. So my husband was ticked that this was their mode of cleaning their room.  In reality they were too lazy to put them away and it is easier for mom or dad  to wash them again.  Being frugal is my walk and it isn’t always my children.

This term Frugal Fraud has stuck in our home. When I forget leftovers and have to throw them away, Stop by a drive thru for a quick meal or wash the clean clothes. In our home we don’t always do things as “frugally” (a word I think needs to be in the dictionary) as we should but we are on the right path. I just have to figure out how to get my children on the path with Randy and I.

The word frugal in the dictionary says avoids waste.

I belong to a group online called Frugal Village I told them our frugal fraud exprience and many have had frugal fraud moments and have decided to try a little harder.
