The other day, I came across a really good article at Eat Local Grown entitled "Ten Daily Habits of Frugal People." Here's that list:

1. Frugal people use everything right to the last drop.

2. Frugal people like to stay home.

3. Frugal people don't spoil their children.

4. Frugal people have productive hobbies.

5. Frugal people don't shop as a form of entertainment.

6. Frugal people save pennies throughout every single day.

7. Frugal people put aside emergency funds.

8. Frugal people cook from scratch.

9. Frugal people do things the low-tech way.

10. Frugal people repair things.
