What rhymes with bugle?

Why, the answer is frugal! And as of late, I am extremely frugal, feeling guilty for spending the ticket price for groceries. Having a child can definitely change things, and in this case my spending habits had a big makeover. In the period of BC, before Chase, I would spend my money frivilously on whatever tickled my fancy. I would spend ridiculous amounts of money getting my hair dyed or purchasing things that I wanted, but almost always never needed. Now I find myself getting excited over Sundays, so that I can have the opportunity to peruse the Philadelphia Inquirer for the smartsaver and redplum coupon books. I find myself positively giddy as I gingerly open the booklets to discover the treasures left for me by the paper printing gods. I clip each and every coupon, not necessarily cause I plan to buy that product, but because I *might* use it down the line to save every last nickle, dime, and penny. I also notice that BC I would get excited about going bowling or going clubbing with my girlfriends. Now I find my joy and contentment lies in the CVS circular and our local grocery outlet Swann's. My downtime is spent making grocery lists that conform to my "grocery budget" and developing my gameplan for my multitude of CVS runs with the intent of spending under a dollar in out of pocket expenses. I knew that with motherhood comes diapers, no sleep, crying babies, changing plans to fit the needs of the family as a whole, but I did not know it also came with a steaming pile of frugality as well. Add this to list of learned lessons in parenthood. Not only does my money go from pedicures to pampers, but with this additional frugality, I am able to throw in an extra tub of wipes for only cents more. My mother would be proud.
