being frugal vs. being a cheapskate

My brothers call me a cheapskate. I beg to differ. Just because I do not want to spend full price on something & hunt for coupons & bargains, does not make me a cheapskate. And just because I would rather try to sew & create instead of just buying it, does not make me cheap.

Definition of a cheapskate: n. Slang A stingy person; a miser.

Definition of frugal: adj. 1. Practicing or marked by economy, as in the expenditure of money or the use of material resources. 2. Costing little; inexpensive: a frugal lunch.

This blog will document my journey of frugal good intentions.
