Constant calculations of value, cost relative to time spent.

I'll pay for the convenience. Unless it is a big ticket item. Then I become a bit obsessive about the research.

As the name implies, I consider myself very frugal. I've found the best way to remain frugal is not watch advertisements, stay away from catalogs and sales circulars, and only hit stores with a list.

Although I too use the same towel for a good 4-5 days. Maybe not as much frugal as it is lazy :D I try to save money as much as possible, but I also value my time.

Some frugal practices I grew up with, others would probably view as way overboard (use towels for a week before throwing into the wash, wash and save margarine tubs for food storage, save non-deposit cans to flatten and turn in for scrap metal, etc.) Some of them I still practice now that I am out of my parents' home, others I don't.
