One of the pitfalls with my profession (pastor) is that eating out is a social connection event for folks. While that wasn't the case with my $25, I can tell that this thinking has become my default thinking. I'm not sure this is a strategy as much as it is an honest confession - but I do thank all of you much better cheapskates for sharing your success stories with someone who needs to learn from them!katrinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-267968804355846648.post-64082689294624399542009-04-01T20:37:00.000-07:002009-04-01T20:37:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing your great strategies Camille! ...Thanks for sharing your great strategies Camille!

And we call eachother on it when we're being especially lazy. Usually I have quick meals on hand - tuna casserole, spaghetti - and it's just a matter of boiling some water and chopping some veggies. It's really not all that hard and it feels good to know how much money we saved in the end!CVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07563116279539221187noreply@blogger.com
