We’re also talking money mentality over in the Frugal Living Community!
Tell us…Is your money mentality to “Save More” or “Spend Less”?!?

I actually like to do both. I spend less money so I can save more! Usually the money being saved is for a specific purpose, then we look around for the best buy so we can spend less. Hope that makes sense!
My brain is definitely “spend less” inclined!
Spend nothing!
We spend as little as possible, but when we do make purchases, we also try to save as much as we can.
I can’t follow your links over to the community; they just go round and round and never get over there. They don’t time out, but they don’t go, either.
Spend less! We are a family of five, living on one income. We try to spend $40.00 or less a week on groceries and still have nothing left to save. Hopefully I can find a way to make a little money and start saving some.
@Jacqueline,
I would love to know what you are buying to feed 5 people for a week for $40 bucks. We have four of us and I almost always spend around $100.
@Susan, We used to spend at least 150.00 a week but just for now, until some things change it’s a lot of beans and potatoes. I have a friend with a large garden and they let me get whatever I want, and I have also started making a lot from scratch, like my own bread. I can only do all of this because I don’t work outside the home, if I did I wouldn’t be making my own bread for sure.
I’m more of a spend less kind of person. I’m the “free spirit” to borrow a term from Dave Ramsey. I enjoy shopping, just my focus now is thrift shopping (Goodwill, yard sale, trash to treasure). My husband is definitely a spend nothing, save more type!

BOTH !
Spend less tends to be the way we are able to save more. Living on one income requires us to find ways to save any way we can.
