My most obvious Frugal Living tip is: DON’T SPEND TO SAVE!
When I first started couponing, I was so excited to get FREEBIES I was spending coupons like a nutso!
Perfect example: Bath and Body Works released a coupon for a FREE Antibacterial Soap with a purchase of $10+. IF you’re going to make a purchase at Bath and Body Works anyway… COOL you get a FREEBIE! BUT if you’re printing your coupon and heading there for the FREE soap, you’ll be spending $10 + tax to get a FREE item that frequently goes on sale for $3.
Pay attention to how much you’re spending and how much you’re actually saving.
