I, The Frugalist

I know. It's not a real word but I like it. Aha, aha, I like it.

Man, do I love CALIFORNIA-A. This afternoon, after my usual heavy load of studies, I flip-flipped down to Mollie Stone's (a convinient but not so great grocery store) to grab some cream, milk, curry (Spice Island) and bananas. My plan is to make one of my favorites: Chicken Curry. Quel Surprise!

I paid a premium for the Spice Island curry (+$2) for the specific brand which I seldom do. But curry is that kind of a spice that is so crucial when cooking that you cannot and should not just buy the generic brand. The same goes for meat, chicken and bread.

I've never been a big follower of the so called organice produce. The reason is I don't taste a big difference. I do-do when it comes to meat, chicken, spices and bread. Ah, and coffee beans. So I would argue that it would be very pretentious of me to just follow with my frugal mind being there.

Since I left the 9-2-5 world I've become Mr Frugality. Only spending money on the things that really matters. I might be taking it too far but in these days cash is king. As long as the cash stays in your pocket and not someone elses.
