You know are frugal when not only do you have a free pass for an attraction or day but you also take your own food, drinks and snacks 😊

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

People buy food and drinks?

[@patmartin9727]

You know your frugal if you budget every bit of spending, pay yourself first, have sinking funds and a fully funded emergency fund. You know your frugal if you follow the frugal queen in France (Jane) and her handsome camera man (Mike). 😊

You know u r frugal when u use the little that is left in the jam jar or mustard jar to make a vinaigrette right in the jar! For the peanut bar jar I make my peanut sauce when there is only bit left. I use egg shells and coffee grounds in my garden! Congrats on your way to 37 K subscribers! Remember everyone please let the ads scroll so Jane and Mike can make more great videos for us!

When you check your Christmas items before buying more. Me today....Christmas card check, gift paper check, re-useable gift bag check, still got enough for this year, so that will do nicely.

[@jessieelliott3157]

You know your frugal when your special skill is looking in the fridge and pantry and coming up with great dinner ideas that use up all the things that need using fastest. Also when you start suggesting a hardware voucher as a gift when asked or you use gift vouchers for practical things. Also when you start stopping buying things you always thought were essential but realise you dont need them.

You know you’re frugal if you take all the tea bags, coffee and toiletries from hotel rooms. I do it everyday so they refill. 😂

[@sheila1013]

Indeed. On a recent holiday, my friend and I took thermal mugs out with us on the daily trips, courtesy of the hotel coffee making supplies. 😃

[@sandrabryan9106]

You know you’re frugal when you use mesh bags from produce as pot scrubbies, or when you make a pot of tea, pour yourself a cup and refill the teapot and then use the cold left over tea in the tea pot to make ice tea and freeze the tea bag for foot soaks later on.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

I will cut certain things out altogether to be able to splurge on meaningful things. I never go on holidays and I never eat out. My craft studio is fully stocked with wonderful things instead. I just bought Free Spirit fabric to make a quilt. I don’t think I can go back to cheap fabric now 🙈

Here's my fun one: You know you're frugal if you add a little bit of water to a sauce jar and shake it around just to make sure you get every last bit out of the jar when cooking.

You know your frugal when your constantly thinking others are nuts for what they buy. I like to think I'm not judgemental but I'm starting to realise maybe I am a little bit lol. I see it every where at the moment people on face book complaining there broke and can't afford food but you scroll down there page and there is photos with a brand new car or holiday pics. That friend who says " how do you do it as a single mum how do you own your home we rent and it's costing us so much. I have stop my self from saying " because I live sensible and save not just money but things for a rainy day!

You know you are frugal if you challenge yourself to portion out your dishwashing, cleaning and laundry products so you only buy them once a year! And use a coupon for them then! I bought a large refill bottle of Dawn liquid last January and use it for all sorts of things besides hand washing dishes. A $10 bottle has lasted me 10 months now and I still have a few weeks' worth left.

I know that I am frugal , because I already do most of the things that you mentioned, except for the train plane /tickets I booked un aller retour TGV to Paris from the Charente Maritime for the end of December in the first week of September it cost me 92 € at the booking office and even if I had waited she said it would never come down and would be booked up very quickly . On the other hand my daughter generously booked a ticket for me ,Paris to Tahiti ( she lives there )and she advanced the date by 2 days and paid 300€ less !!! but I am not very good on internet if I was I am sure that I would get lots of good deals .
