I thought it would be interesting to see what sort of un frugal things we all do. I know that we all try our hardest to be frugal, but there are some ucompromising areas! What are yours?

1. I run the water when I brush my teeth, because I don't want to hear the sound
2. I buy those 100 packs of disposables gloves at the $1 store for touching raw meat or cleaning extra icky things
3. If I'm really, really cold in the winter time in the mornings, I put my clothes in the dryer for a few minutes.

Those are my worst habits, I think.

I do many un-frugal things I'm sure but here are some I can think about real fast:

1. I take extra long and hot showers.
2. I always make too much coffee because I hate having to make some more in the morning (weird I know!!)
3. I use paper towells, paper napkins, those desincfincting wipes, baby wipes, etc. all those things that make your life easier.
4. I use Tide (that I usually buy on sale) because it's my favorite !!

I could go on and on.....

I use paper plates all the time

I drink pop (generic, but still unnecessary)

I buy premade luch box treats (Little Debbie's)

I use my dryer

I drive where ever I need to without giving it a thought.

I use disposable baggies for packing lunches and storing leftovers.

I do everything that HappyMom does, except the soda. I rarely buy it, or I'll drink it obviously.

I buy clothes and shoes that I like, even when at full price.
We don't hesitate to go out to eat at this mexican place down the road if we don't feel like cooking.
We drink lots of bottled water.
I too, make way too much coffee in the mornings, even on the weekends.
If I leave a load of clothes in the washer too long and they get that "musty" smell, I just rewash them.
I keep my house at a comfortable temperature, even if it's extreme weather out. I refuse to freeze or sweat in my house!

Yeah, I'm fairly unfrugal. I wish I wasn't.

I throw away my plastic baggies (even though I used to re-wash & re0use)
I, too, like to be comfortable in my own home (I turned the A/C back on)
I will re-wash clothes if I've left them too long in the washer.
I use my dryer about 80% of the time.
We order pizza, sometimes twice a week if I don't feel like cooking or we've had a busy evening.
We drink bottled water (we have nasty well water)
I use paper towel, napkins, & plates. The kids use plastic utensils in their packed lunches.
My son buys his lunch 75% of the time

I'm sure there are more that I can't think of right now. There is definitely lots of room for improvement on my part!!

I've been really bad lately.

~I buy tons of clothes and shoes. Hundreds of dollars in the last two weeks.
~We've eaten out the last 4-5 nights (which is actually only slightly more than normal.)
~I used to do that "re-wash musty clothes left in the washer too long" until I discovered that if you just run a rinse cycle and add some vinegar, the smell goes away (still a little wasteful, but improving)

I've really fallen off of the frugality wagon. I need to get it together.

i guess my biggest un-frugal thing i do is i always take my library stuff back late and get fines when i could have just logged on to the website and renewed the materials.. plus i use way to many baby wipes i use them for everything.

Buy my daughter way too much My Little Pony stuff.

I take bathes even on days that I've already showered juect because I love the warm water.

I spend a lot of time on the internet.

Probably about a billion other things that hasn't even crossed my mind - I'm a work in progress.

I take extra long hot showers also

I normally throw a little of the fresh veggies/fruits that are left at the end of the week

I don't hesitate to drive somewhere around town if I need/want to go

Even thought I get my kids' clothes at great prices, I probably buy too many!

Instead of going home after dropping dd off at preschool I go check clearance racks at stores

I too waste gas driving where ever I want to go.

We have pop and chips every friday night and most times rent a movie too.

Sometimes I forget to use up food (esp. fruit and veggies) and it get's thrown out.

I forget the laundry sometimes too and have to re-wash it. Ugh...I hate that one!

I have cut down a lot but I still think I buy to much snack type foods.
