Hindrances to Frugality, 3
7. Laziness- sometimes we buy the store bought bread because we are too busy to make our own, or because making bread just doesn't fit with our family's priorities or time. Sometimes, it's because I just don't 'feel' like baking bread.
Too lazy to price shop.
Too lazy to bake from scratch.
Too lazy to plan ahead
Too lazy take care of something now before it becomes an emergency later (a stitch in time...)
Sometimes we don't do these things for excellent reasons. But sometimes, it's just laziness. I don't feel like.... I don't wanta ....
The sloth of disobedience causes a multitude of sins (and other problems).
If let fly unchecked, a certain 'spontanaity is likely to become a distinctly Harold Skimpole like, improvident quality.

I love the Bleak House reference. You are right on all of the rest of course. I feel the most tremendous guilt when we buy bread, knowing I have all the ingredients on hand.

So true. This one holds true for me for line-drying clothes!

just not feeling like it is my main reason for slip-sliding into purchased instead of homemade goods. I’ve got to get better at cooking/freezing when the mood strikes, so EASY will always be on hand!

Good post. It is sometimes hard to combat laziness in one particular area, especially if you are busy doing other things, such as work or caring for your family. However, I find it helpful that if you write it down…you will have a MUCH higher chance of getting it done. Keep up the awesome posts!
