Spinoff What Frugal things do you nver tire of doing?

I was wondering what are some frugal things that you never tire of doing and you might even look forward to them. For me it is going to yardsales the only time I tire of them is if my cash is getting low. I also love going to the Goodwill As Is store.

Gardening, and processing my garden produce. I really like dehydrating and freezing. I love putting food on the table that came from right here on our place.

I love going to the library. We go a least once a week during the summer.
I also love the thrill of the hunt for a good deal so that's why I love Goodwill also. I also love the smell of clothes that have dried outside on the line.

I love love love the library. I never tire of going there.

I also really look forward to the weekly grocery circulars every week and making a shopping list from the sales. I just love it. And seeing what grocery coupons are in the Sunday paper.

I love my garden too! I harvested some green beans this weekend and will have some tomatoes and peppers very soon! I'm so excited!

I love the library, too. I also really love cooking and thinking about food. I guess once in a while I don't feel like cooking, but I usually have meals in the freezer, or fall-back really quick things (throwing pizza ingredients on a pre-made crust), or DH will step in and make something for those times, so cooking almost always gets to stay a pleasure for me. And I like menu planning; it's fun to look through recipes and think what I want to make, and I am SO glad I learned (from Mommysavers) to do this, because to me it makes my life so much simpler and easier than what I was doing before. (Before, I would just think, We're getting short on things, time to go to the store, shop in a semi-planned way, half from a list and half randomly, and then try after the fact to make meals or to come up with meal ideas at the end of a long day, which is VERY different from thinking through them ahead of time and planning for them.)

I like going to the park, the city's free open-air concerts, things like that. I don't really think of them as "frugal", because I did the same thing before, but of course they are frugal.

I will always shop at garage sales, thrift stores, or consignment shops before I ever buy anything new. I also use the library for all of our books and movies. I also will never stop using coupons, especially since I can save so much on things like diapers, wipes, and grocery items.
