I completely agree that sometimes living frugally can get to be a little overwhelming, not to mention embarrasing. So with that said I feel that there are some areas you just aren't meant to be frugal in. I have been searching the internet for a few months now on how to be frugal and tight with your money but not showing it. I guess that you could say when it comes to my reputation, i'm not that proud of being a 'tight artist'. Now while this article gives some standard tips on how to do things frugally... i would really like to see a post that shows how you can live frugally, but not seem like it to your family and friends. Theres got to be a way....... I know it....I just haven't found it yet..... Woah there are so many great tips here.

I use cosco for basic toiletries and some food items. Do you suggest buying items online when the price is lower (this is including the shipping ofcourse). I also give kudos to you for suggesting energy efficient (aka "green") ways for saving money. IS there a particular wherehouse that you recommend to buy from?

Oh, and for those that get squeamish about the mercury content in CFL bulbs...head over to snopes.com and read the truth. If you break one, you don't need a HAZMAT crew, just a little common sense. And, they've fixed that noticeable delay from flipping the switch to getting light. If you haven't tried CFL's before, try them now. 60W worth of light for around 17W of power. Pretty close to free money. Great series! Oh, and for those that get squeamish about the mercury content in CFL bulbs…head over to snopes.com and read the truth.

I've only replaced a single bulb in the last two years! Besides the energy savings (which I have noticed on my electric bill), the bulbs have a much longer lifespan than the old-school incandescent bulbs which I was replacing constantly.

The air conditioning in summer consumes a lot. We just got a new system with a SEER of about 20.0 and our bill in August, 2007 in South Carolina was less than $100.00. Using a timer on water heater helps if everyone works together and takes showers in a short time frame then you can keep WH off the rest of the 24 hour time. Also we hang up clothes upstairs in our house and only use the dryer occasionally. (The upstairs is not heated or cooled and we open the windows for air flow (ventilation).

Our water is great so I picked up 2 $1 refillable squirt bottles at the Dollar Tree and fill them up when I need to. I also use them at work because the water there is good too. Good for the environment as well. We just switched about 6 of our light bulbs over and stopped buying bottled water.
