Poll: Are you Frugal?

Post Reply New Topic

Frugal, I like to buy things used or that are on sale. Most of the games on my 3DS I got from the eshop under Price Drops and a few I got from Gamefly. I also bought two eshop $50 cards on pcgamesupply when they had a sale going on so I saved ten bucks because they were selling the $50 ones for $45. I also love going to yard sales or second hand stores.

I dont really have a spending limit (for purchases with a sane price, I dont mean like, buying cars for the hell of it), so by my nature I tend to just buy things seemingly at random, when I feel like it, which is pretty frequent.

I only really have one major interest, which is gaming, so it's usually related to that. But it can also be related to convention trips, thus involving hotel/food/transport costs or whatever. I'll usually set one of those up whenever I happen to find one that's within a driving distance I can actually handle.

So yeah.... I dont think "frugal" fits me.

Though, I do tend to notice when prices are off, and sometimes will just refuse to buy something if I think the price is bloody stupid.

I'm pretty frugal, since right now, my only income source is SSI, which forces you to be frugal. I tend to buy things when they're on sale, and sometimes I like to shop at swap meets and thrift stores. The only reason I have a newer car is that it was a birthday gift, as I'm more likely to keep a car until it no longer runs.

My wardrobe has gone up in value. It's now called "vintage."
