If one embarrasses easily, it's hard to find ways to pinch those pennies. I like to project a nice, calm, put together image. Sometimes, I have to let the image go to use my common sense. And sometimes I have to let the image go when my husband Andy finds a way to use common sense. Last night, we were at a dinner event with fresh greenery on the tables. We were helping clean. I have no problem in taking leftover food for the family (especially feeding a teenage boy and a middle school girl who eats like a teenage boy). I was happy to do that. Now when it came to the greenery, we had to dispose of it. Andy (wisely) asked if he could take some of it home to decorate. He took most of it, actually. Now, it's just a few dollars I won't spend on some bows or greenery - but it all adds up.
Another good tip for free fresh greenery - go to a lot where Christmas trees are sold and ask for any leftoff cuttings (Andy did that the other day too!).
Someone has to do something with these things. Might as well be us.
