Frugal Gift Giving

For some frugal is called cheap. There is a difference you know. A cheap person asks you out and some how you end up paying for the meal. A cheap person doesn't think about the gift they get you, they just want to get anything whether you need it, want it, or not. Here is an idea for you to try and see if it won't help you.

I had four weddings coming up and almost no money. I went garage sailing with the "Garage Sale Queen" and found some beautiful crystal stemware an entire case mind you in a box. Each piece in perfect condition with the little "crystal" sticker stuck to the bottom. I paid $6.00 for the case of twenty four and gave each couple a beautifully wrapped box of six wine glasses. What a find!

My granddaughter was given a Leap Frog in perfect condition, bought at a garage sale. You can be frugal without being cheap. I hope this gives you some ideas.
