Some people are born frugal. They come into the world with a bent to use it up, wear it out, and do without. Not me. I arrived with an overly developed spendthrift gene. Frugality is a learned behavior and way of life I have chosen. And I learn something new nearly every day.
Take melted ice cream as an example. For one reason or another (too many unscheduled stops on the way home from the supermarket perhaps?), a carton melts into a thick, gloppy mess.
