Ever do something that you just know crosses the line between frugal and cheap?
A few days ago, there was a vendor show at work, and they brought us a bunch of yummy delicious sandwiches. I stuffed myself silly!
So, yeah, this is a bad habit of mine. Often times, I would gorge myself so I would not have to spend more money on food later. Or if I do eat, it tends to be unhealthy junk food. And when it comes to buffet restaurants, it's actually not as hard to do as it sounds.
I don't know, I'm going to try to space out smaller meals throughout the day, even if it ends up costing a bit more. So, care to fess up anything you do that you know is cheap as well?

We are notorious for bringing "contraband" into the theatre - that being theatre candy purchased at Aldi's. Good and Plenty for $.69 versus $1.75. Then multiply it by seven (average number of movie goers that we have).
And our theatre has free refills on drinks/popcorn. We go for refills one at a time (DH/myself/older daughters).
My MIL takes all the jelly and sugar packets from restaurants. She also asks for a bag to take all the rolls for the baskets because they can't be reused.
