Is this thrifty? Frugal? Cheap? A while ago I wrote about how I had become my mother and yet I continue to do things like pictured above. What is this a picture of?

When you have bought a new bottle of Fabric Softener but there is still a little left in your old bottle, what do you do?

• Throw the old bottle out and don’t even think about the small amount left because it is insignificant and unimportant?
• Keep attempting to use the old one and then throw it out?
• Do what this picture shows, decanting the remnants of the old bottle into the new bottle?

Do you do this for Ketchup and other condiments?

Have you ever seen there were only a few Cheerios left in the box so you just dumped them into the new box of Honey Nut Cheerios (thus creating an amalgamation)?

Is this being cheap? Frugal? Crazy? Question for your Saturday.
