Cheerful Frugality Remembers

Posted by: MerchantShips on Monday, January 28th, 2008

I might forget that Monday is my day to write at Frugal Hacks, but I remember that Monday is also 10/$5 at Goodwill.

I might forget another gallon of milk, but I remember to keep powdered milk in the pantry.

I might forget that my gas tank is getting low, but I remember that the cheapest fill-up is at the Kroger down the street.

I might forget to drop our books at the library, but I remember to renew them online.

I might forget that my drapery project is half done, but I remember that my friends at Like Merchant Ships are waiting!

I might forget to stick to my shopping list, but I remember that the cash in my envelope will only stretch so far.

I might forget that my "things to do" count, but I remember that no one can fill my role as mom, wife, and home manager like I can.

What do you forget about saving money, and what helps you remember your cheerful frugality?

I forget how much work br*astfeeding can be…but I remember how good for baby (and cheap) and precious it is:)
I forget to bring my coupons, but I remember that homemade is (almost always) cheaper than what I had a coupon for in the first place.
