One of the questions he asked was "If people saw your budget, would they see Christ as the all-satisfying passion of your life?" Yeah...

We have dollar stores but none of them have anything like juice aqctually cheaper per ounce than Walmart :-( I'm really not that generous, I just like to share! :-) Yeah, I don't like to reuse them over and over but… oh well!

I schedule what I'm going to use for the week and then buy that, and only that. Mostly generics. Few name brands. But yet, I'm from a society that feeds those whom they love. While we may be having hot dogs for supper, if my neighbor gets sick or a church member dies, I'm going all out to make them a special meal. I know exactly what you're talking about. I don't mind going without. But I get joy out of blessing others. :o) I'm very frugal when I buy. I schedule what I'm going to use for the week and then buy that, and only that. Mostly generics.

California really needs to put some dollar stores in your neighborhood. I pay 3 something for OJ but there's stores that sell the same size for $1. By the way, are you indirectly alluding to your parents in this post. Are they being too frugal with your bag of chips lol. Just think of it in a positive light...you wont get fat from eating too much cause you cant afford food! You are probably the most generous person I "know". No way, could I be broke and invite guests over to stay. That's crazy talk in my world. For what it's worth I wouldn't recommend reusing water bottles over and over.

Is this just a difference in values or are they just being greedy with someone else's stuff. In the end, it comes down to a difference in values though either way! :-) I do know what you mean and that’s a question I ask myself sometimes.

You are right. Actually, I only buy chips when I am expecting company. I just don't like the idea of people being careless about your generosity. You know what I mean? Sigh. You are right.
