WHY?

WHY ? why be cheap

Okay for me there are a few reasons

1. KT is not working the hours that he usually does (no overtime and a few days off here and there) so his checks have been pretty lean. We recently found out that his dad has cancer so that probably means more time off and smaller checks.
2. Gas prices are through the roof here. It's $4.39 a gallon right now.
3.I've been trying to save some money so that I don't always feel like we are broke and build up little stockpile of goods just in case we are. Not doing that great on actually saving cash front but I am getting some good deals and saving money in other ways. Since I'm a SAHM right now doing deals and saving us money shopping is my way of contributing to our budget.
4. We as a family have terrible teeth and spend a lot of money at the dentist.
5. I like to gamble and have enough money that my kids are able to do activities like swimming lessons and sports without totally crushing our budget.
6. Why should I pay full price for something that can be gotten for less with minimal effort. It just seems silly to me.
