What does frugal living mean?

Frugal Living

When people typically hear that someone lives “Frugally” they associate that with them being poor or living without..... What I can tell you is that neither is true. In the past 5 months my husband and I have decided to live this frugal life and since then we have saved thousands, yes a few thousand dollars on products that we use and the same exact brands that we used before. The biggest difference is that instead of spending roughly $1,000 a month… now we are spending a $300-400 dollars a month on EVERYTHING…this includes meat, any type of food item, health & beauty,  cleaning products, animal food, baby food, juice, soda any type of drinks and eating out. The clincher is that with each passing month our monthly total gets less and less. Now you might ask yourself how is this even possible…they must be doing without ….here’s the best part: we have everything we could possibly need and in most items a surplus of it, but with the money we are saving we are able to purchase more of the things that we want without the worry of where the money is coming from.
