When it all began...

I couldn't really tell you when my frugal heart was first stirred. I can tell you that as a little girl, every dollar I made babysitting was rolled up and put in a sock in my drawer with the intention of never being spent. I remember my brother and sister saving up for a Nintendo and trying to convince me to go on it. Ya right. Spend my precious dollars? I think not. And on top of that, I knew they weren't really NOT gonna let me play it forever. Sure enough, I did not pay a dime and I played that Nintendo the first day we had it. So the frugalness runs deep, and money is not spent with out thought. And now, enter in a deal! Not only not spending (much) money, but getting something worth more than what I paid for it, it's a feeling I just can't get enough of. Watch out, it's contagious :)
