Yes. Or I've occasionally passed on a good coupon to someone I know buys those things a lot (like Target's $5/toys coupon last month or a $2 CVS coupon to someone who mentioned she was stopping by there). But they look at me funny and decide that we must be in financial difficulties! So I give up.
For a while I shared with a sister and a friend. Then I started to feel as though whatever I said went in one ear and out the other. Now I keep it to myself unless it's a super deal.
I have a good friend who got me started on all this. I was just reading her blog one day and she had a link to a "money saving" type site. I got hooked and now I'm here!
I will if the person's interested, otherwise, they really don't wanna hear it!
Ditto. You'd be surprised at how many people really "don't have time" or act like they don't HAVE to save money. Or think that, just because you're trying to save money, you're poor. They just don't get it.

Frugal is being wise with your money and resources and cheap is forcing everyone else to.
I don't volunteer information any more, as my family doesn't seem to interested in being frugal. However, if they are going to make a big purchase, they'll usually ask me to find the best price for them (especially around Christmas).
My inlaws are much more like me, and we share often.
My friends aren't too interested, so I don't share unless asked.
I find this to be true, too. Some folks just look at me cross-eyed and say, "I don't have time to do that!" when I mention a money-saving tip. Or, if they are trying to save money and are in need of such tips, they nod in agreement, but never try the suggestion.
It seems like people do want to save money, but don't want to change their habits, imo.
