There is such a thing as being a little TOO frugal. I found some pictorial examples for those of you who may need a little prompting out of your miserly ways. Take these, for example.
Like trying to cram as much stuff as you can for one trip.
Thanks, Blazing Minds, for photo.
Maybe it really is time to get a new car now?
Hair frugality. Interesting. FAIL.
No no no.
I’m all for buying in bulk, but…
Aw come on! Beef is only $5 a pound!
Something tells me this won’t fool the kids.

Really, take it from me: hire the plumber.
Well now, this one I actually like.
Going “green” with the street cleaning. It’s nice to see government tightening the belt, but…
So go ahead and BE FRUGAL! But, remember, sometimes a penny saved is really just a dollar wasted.
I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.

Hmmm … shovels as frying pans? I guess it would depend on what they’d been digging before hand.

A few years ago my nephew thought he’d found a really great deal on eBay: an X-box for only six dollars. Turns out the listing was just for the box that originally contained the X-Box (“Play a joke on your friends! Hilarious!”)
