Hi:
I'd bet that I'm one of the more "frugal" ones on this forum (but then I'm a bit new). Regarding parking meters, I'll make a pretty good attempt to find one with time on it..especially if its in a parking lot. I also save a lot of loot by doing all my own home maintenance and car repairs/oil changes etc. My monthly expenses are quite low (around $700/mo?) but my house is paid for. But then, I'm in a high property tax state. But then again..since I usually keep my taxable income low, I get some of that rebated.
Interestingly (maybe), even though I like to shop around for sales on stuff in the food stores (including meat that's marked down cuz it's about to expire)..I'll spend more for certain organic veggies etc because of the "whole" picture (i.e. I don't have health insurance).
