I agree. I don't need to be frugal, but I maintain the habit. I wrote about Carol Saal recently, a multi-millionaire philanthropist who saves paper clips. I totally get it.
It's about not wasting and being grateful for what you have. And also having more to share, in the Saal's case.

This is a money saving site so I’m not sure why so many people leave comments saying you’re wasting your time. Saving money is about being frugal and being frugal means not wasting what you have. I’ve read so many times to use half the toothpaste needed. I have about 10 tubes of toothpaste because I get them for free all the time with a coupon. I still use half the amount needed because I try to live a frugal life style. There are a lot of creative ideas for saving money because for those who read a lot and practice it, it’s hard to find more.
Keep the tips coming Clever Dude! You’ve got great ideas.

Cause I have a face like a Brillo pad. I agree I get closer shaves, but it HURTS to shave without cream! I can shave in the shower, but I’m needlessly wasting water and the shavings splash everywhere.

I’ll consider the idea of buying an antifog mirror for the shower because I do need to see my face to get the quickest shave.

I agree. I hate waste. I like to reuse, recycle, and use less. I also hate clutter!

Saving money is great, but so is living in a clutter free environment and recycling resources.
