Are you a thrifty/frugal bargaining hound like me?

In these days of economic recession it is important to utilize money wisely and same for an unknown and perhaps unforgiving future. Here is just a few things that my wife and I are doing to same money:

My wife does all the shopping and she won’t buy anything unless it is on sale or she has a coupon. She also asks for discounts for AAA, military, senior etc.

I do my part by cutting my own hair. I haven’t had a professional hair cut in over 30 years. I figure why pay someone to make me look bad, I can do that myself. HA! I do a lot of other things to save money as well. I always chang our cars oil and maintain our house inside and out myself. Also I scrounge wood pallets from work to burn in our wood stove for free winter heat. I also used cardboard boxes which burn hot fast. I bring my own lunch to work everyday made of leftovers. I’m the king of leftovers. If it is leftover, I eat it.

Are you like me? What are you doing to save money?
