Frugal Fridays is going to be a wide range of tips on saving money... some of them are just concepts that I have learned. They may be things that you already do, or somethings that you already know but might be a good reminder. So I hope that you enjoy reading what I am learning and I hope you will share your tips with me!!
So my first tip I have learned from a good friend of mine, you know who you are, is being o.k. with saying no. Sometimes it's hard to say no to friends. Maybe someone will come up to you after church and say hey let's go out to lunch, someone calls you up and wants to go to a movie. I think often we think well we really shouldn't but then we talk ourselves into it. This includes taking into account how much your driving. I am learning to stay home more, not visit everyone all the time. I don't want you to think I don't do anything but I limit what I am doing and how much I am doing it. Recently I had an experience with some girls I know who wanted to get together. The majority of what they wanted to do involved spending money. It was so hard. I said once I can't do anything that is going to cost money, then there were more suggestions based on spending and I had to say no again. I felt somewhat embarrassed and then one of the other girls finally agreed with me and made some suggestions that weren't going to cost any money. So we are getting together for a picnic. :) (If the weather cooperates.) So stand firm, don't be embarrassed to say no. Once you start saying no you realize that it isn't a big deal and you can still spend time together without spending money. Have a great Friday and a great weekend. :)
