We do go the extra few miles to shop at Walmart & Albertson Supermarkets. They have the lowest prices on everything. We don't have double coupons which would help alot.
We always check the circulars before heading out since most of the sales are on the weekend specials.
My Sister started driving there too and noticed the big savings on weekly shopping.
We don't spend as much on clothes since it is warm here and don't need to buy much heavy clothing. Have enough for the few cool days that we get.
My DH still cuts his own lawn and washes the house outside. Which is a big savings every month.
At my DH age do let him splurge to get something He really wants. In a way it pays to make ourselves feel good too since being happy is important. No sense being too frugal and leaving everything for our children to spend when we are gone.
