Frugal people watch TV. I am proof of that.
However, I am very selective about what I watch. Lots of PBS, Discovery Channels, Ovation, Smithsonian Channel, Nat Geo., TLC, BBC America, etc.
I may go to see a movie once a year and there have been times where several years go by without going to see a movie.
I do not get newspapers. CNN, HLN, Local channels give me all the info I need and I don’t have to cart the newspapers to the recycling center.
I only get two magazines, Whole Living and Smithsonian. My dad gives me his Nat Geos. after he reads them.

I watch TV and Yes, I am very frugal!

I think one of the biggest parts of saving money has to do with your tolerance. It’s almost like a sport. You push yourself and it’s hard in the beginning, as you continue to practice you get better and better. Once you master it, it becomes second nature and you can focus on other ways to save and make money.

I am probably the most frugal person on this site. But I don’t have to be. I don’t have to be because I am the most frugal person on this site. LOL

Buy local veggies and don’t top off your gas tank!

#5 in your 10 Frugal Truths is true and unfortunately out of hand. I swear not a single hour goes by on Christian Radio without a mention of how to save money. I think that Christians (myself being one) have allowed money to become our God. There is just SO much obsession about how to save money. I would say to these folks, ‘Quit worrying about having money for your food and clothes. Will not your father in heaven provide for you?’
