Tonight we had the new neighbors over for dinner. I cooked some ribs, and they brought a wonderful pasta salad. We shared stories and got to know them. Good times. This highlights the frugal lifestyle. We met our neighbor when we fixed our mailboxes together. He suggested we get together and we scheduled it for this week. It was a great time and cost me two rack of ribs, and a bottle of tequila. It was good getting to know them.
Having dinner at home was much less expensive than meeting at a restaurant or bar for dinner and drinks. It was much more intimate than meeting in a public setting. We all have social needs and the desire to socialize. However, this doesn’t mean frugality gets set aside. I make a mean rack of ribs. The neighbor makes a mean potato salad. Clearly, frugality and fellowship won the day!
