Hubby and I have always been scroungers. However, we have been trying to keep our spending under better control. The easiest way is to avoid stores, but then you do miss out on bargains.LOL.
I try my best to avoid all stores! I hate to shop. If you were to happen upon me out and about it would be at our County CO-OP, Lowes or Wal-Mart. My wife works at Wal-Mart and I hate to shop there. I usually just call her and say we need the following stuff and she usually gets it right and it shows up when she gets home - neat!
