Are you frugal or cheap?

There’s a big difference between being “frugal” and being “cheap”.

Frugal means you’re responsible and smart with your money…no one likes “cheap”!

A new survey has the answers:

  • Not taking your turn to buy everyone a round of drinks is CHEAP
  • Buying generic food products is FRUGAL
  • Re-gifting is CHEAP
  • Watering down the soap in your soap dispensers is CHEAP
  • Keeping a close eye on the temperature in your home is FRUGAL
  • Only tipping the minimum amount, regardless of service, is CHEAP
  • Trying to find deals or coupons for everything you buy is FRUGAL
  • Eating expired food is CHEAP 

We’d also say splitting two-ply toilet paper into one-play is CHEAP…what say you?
