Maybe I shouldn't say I'm cheap. Maybe I should use the word frugal instead. Well, anyway you slice it, I'm careful with the dollar.
Actually, that's only half true. When it comes to getting gifts for my friends and family, I don't really think too much on money. Sure, I'll look for the best deal, but in general, I'll go ahead and buy something a little more expensive if it will make one of my loved ones happy.
But when it comes to myself, I'm tight with money. I don't like to spend a lot on clothes. Really the only indulgence clothing-wise where I don't worry about money is shoes. I don't like for my feet to hurt. But when it comes to clothes shopping for work, I'll hit up a Walmart or Target or even buy stuff on ABC Distributing (man, there are some cheap items there!). When it comes to jewelry, I appreciate the real stuff, but really, as long as it dangles and sparkles it doesn't really matter if it's a fine gem or costume beads.
One place I normally will spend an extra few bucks is on skin care and cosmetic products. That's where my vanity gets in the way of me saving money. I've got to have all natural lotions, all natural washes and vegan-friendly cosmetics. I'm not a vegan, but when it comes to skin care, I don't find it necessary to use products with animals in it. If I'm not eating meat for nutrition, then I don't need to contribute to more slaughtering of animals (that's another rant and blog entry...maybe).
What can I say...I've turned into a girly girl in my young age.
