Is It Possible To Be Too Frugal? Yes, It’s Called Cheap.
My Brother-in-Law just told me a funny story. One of his co-workers learned that purchasing a maximum of (5) Green Beans at one time doesn’t weigh anything, thus he’s usually not charged for them at the checkout stand. After fine tuning his discovery, he went to the supermarket daily for a week, until he had enough Green Beans to make a meal. Can you believe it? It’s true. And he’s not poor either — He owns two houses and has a great job. I’m still laughing about this. In some ways it’s moderately inspiring (haha), but I certainly wouldn’t want to go to the supermarket every day. Hope he doesn’t stumble upon this blog or my Brother-in-Law is in trouble. 🙂
