Thrifty, Frugal or Cheap?

This one is a fun old post that I did in 2013, and I must admit I still do this with Ketchup, Softener and even Cereal Boxes, but is it thrifty, frugal or cheap ?

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?

Thrifty , frugal or cheap ?

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?

Do you do this for Ketchup and other condiments?

I have even found a nifty universal connection contraption that makes this whole thing much simpler when working with condiments.

Have you ever seen 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 thrifty, frugal or cheap?

So far, I’ve been relatively successful at making money, and saving a lot of money over the years. In all honesty, I’ve completely butchered investing before starting MoneyAhoy. I tried my hand at the whole day trading thing and failed miserably. But, that’s a story for another day… On MoneyAhoy I plan to share with you financial successes and failures that I have experienced. My hope is that you’ll be able to learn something from these stories and apply it to your own life, or share something that you’ve learned that can help me or other site users. Let’s take the journey together and explore how we can save more money, make more money, and invest it wisely to achieve our financial dreams!

    We do this all the time – it’s frugal. It takes all of 5 seconds and saves product from being wasted!

    This is a GOOD thing. You are not letting it waste. I don’t use liquid fabric softner but I do this with lotion, shampoo, ketchup and dishwashing liquid.

    Way to go.

    Good answer! It is the cereal mixing that used to drive me mad!
