Cheap
The Call: A Nickel Up Close — Jessica
I know that there are lots of sayings about stretching dollars and rubbing dimes and pinching pennies but it all comes around to being cheap. And cheap isn’t always a bad thing…there is a kind of freedom in not wasting a lot of money on stuff.
Response: Inexpensive Glassware — Cheryl
I’m often torn between spending money for high quality goods and trying to to find the cheapest item available. It really depends on what I’m shopping for. When it comes to drinking glasses, cheap wins the day. With six kids, granite countertops and tile floors, one tumble is all most tumblers can take and few glasses last longer than six months. Fortunately, my local TJ Maxx always has a great selection of inexpensive, but nice, glassware.
…and when the kids are the ones who load and unload the dishwasher…I finally gave in a got some plastic restaurant type glasses from Amazon just so we would have some big glasses again!
We have a few plastic ones, but I can’t stand to drink out of them.
I know exactly what you mean about the freedom that comes from being cheap/frugal/thrifty. Debt is servitude.
