Frugality is smart, savvy and responsible, but it's also humorous.
*you have more coupons in your wallet than cash
*you can't remember the last time you paid for toothpaste, toothbrushes and shampoo
*you consider a car with 100,000 miles on it to be new.
*you leave the price tag on something you've bought for the bragging rights
*you stocked up on Forever Stamps when they first came out, so you'd never have to pay another postal increase.
*you know the Target clearance schedule better than the employees do.
*you prefer curb shopping to window shopping
*you buy vinegar by the gallon, and wish it came in a bigger bottle
*repairing your dryer means stringing new clothesline in the backyard
*a 25% off sale doesn't even get you out of bed
*you do all of your Christmas shopping with rewards points
*soup is code for "whatever was left in the fridge."
*your heart races every time you hear the word "free."
*your stockpile resembles a small grocery store
*you know how to combine BOGOs, FAR offers, coupons and ECBs to get a good percentage of your food and toiletries for free.
(And perhaps more telling ... the previous sentence made perfect sense to you)
*your family knows not to throw out an empty cereal box without first checking to see if you're saving UPCs for an offer.

*cashiers regularly turn to you at the end of a transaction and say, "That's the best deal I've seen all day!"
