Frugal means not wasting being careful in our case with money.

Economical, not spending wastefully,careful with spending.

In our case, skinty poos. Not able to spend, having to be very careful, cos we have creditors and are not allowed.

What about pound shops for cleaning products ? The ones in Watford seem to have quite a lot of branded stuff which I sometimes find a lot better than own brand which can be watered down.

Try Woolworths as well - I got a bucket there for 73p - Spring is supposed to be on the way after all !!
