I compete with guys at work for “Biggest cheapskate”. I’m winning because I’ve discovered the formula for spending only $10 a week on lunch.

I like this title and this post. Let’s hope that the cheapskates become the new Joneses. It will take some time though to change habits. – This reminds me of a quote I read recently, “First we form habits, then they form us. Conquer your bad habits or they will conquer you.” Rob Gilbert

It’s okay to be frugal, especially nowadays. The standard of living has changed now that we’re experiencing financial crisis. But I think what’s important is that we still go for the quality of the products we purchase, not just because it fits the budget.

I think that a little healthy competition in this area is not such a bad thing. After all, as you point out – if both people are trying to become more and more frugal, they are both sitll doing the right thing.

On the other hand, the competition of “keeping up with the Joneses” just took us down into debt and a horrible national savings rate.

As with all things, there are limits – but I say – more power to them! (the people being frugal).

Great post.
