I finally started getting my hair cut at a real salon. But I do not color my hair and I'm 57 now. Most of my clothes come from thrift stores. I do splurge and get Lee Riders jeans. I shop for food at Wal-mart. If I go to Kohls, I immediately go to the 80% off place. I love garage sales. When I did wear make-up, I went to the stores that everything is $1 and got it (except lipstick). I'm married now and feel like I"m living high on the hog because I bought new towels ($5 a piece at Wal-mart). Ok, I'll quit. Saving money has been a necessity and a joy for me. It's stupid to waste it.
