She said "I don't like the word cheap, it sounds..." she couldn't think what word would describe cheap. So I said "sounds... Cheap?". heheh.

I imagine that is the main issue people have with adults ordering children's meals?

But I disagree with one of your examples. If a kids meal is all you need to be full and satisfied, it's being frugal not cheap to order it. Especially where the regular meal is over-portioned, in which case ordering it may be wasteful. Great post. But I disagree with one of your examples.

I've waited tables, and the number of people who will tell me they just don't have the money for a tip but "Gee, we sure enjoyed your service!" used to tick me off to no end! I'm glad you had a good time, but that doesn't help me pay my bills, and the rent can't be made up with smiley faces. Thank you for reminding folx about tipping!

A frugal person is able to get much pleasure/satisfaction from simple things, in my opinion, and isn't seeking to take more than his or her share. I think as I've aged I'm tending to be satisfied with less and less and am getting more out of it in the bargain and enjoy little "rewards" to myself here and there. I no longer aggressively seek some deal if I truly don't need it. It's being mature enough to think a thing through, do I really, really need it, whatever the it is - most times, the answer will be no and I'm content with the answer. There is so much to be had for free or nearly free in this country. I've come to the conclusion in terms of contentmen in this life, the best thing to do with your time is be so busy doing things for others most of the time that you fall into bed at night and sleep like a baby. It works well for me but it took me years to reach this plane, ha-ha. Andy, you said a mouthful.
