8 years ago @ The Diary of a Frugal ... - Do you read food labels? · 0 replies · +1 points

I look at labels for sure! Of course, the first thing I do is try to avoid buying things that are prepackaged as much as possible. I mean I'll buy frozen fruit and vegetables, but I won't buy canned fruit and veggies. When I'm looking at things like dairy, I usually try to go for the highest protein item (especially for cottage cheese and greek yogurt). This may sound weird, but the only "condiment" that I really use is olive oil mayonnaise. I do like to get pre-packaged flavor packs because I'm too lazy to mix spices. when I buy those packs, I try to make sure it has no MSG and aren't incredibly salty. I know the flavor packs are still better than the jar of it (like taco seasoning or alfredo sauce), but still.

I secretly enjoy reading food labels and seeing calories. I don't obsessively count them, but I like math and science so I like to know those kinds of things.

I don't know when I became old, but I do not understand snapchat at all! Actually, no I think I get it, but rather than "snap" people, I just text them with what I want to show them. How old school of me. I like that you make her pay for her own wifi, hehe.

Also, I absolutely love youtube! Youtube is my TV. I will start with one video and just let it play and play and play. Lately I've been into cheap meals for the week and there are so many videos to choose from on that topic.

Great post! Who knew teenagers would have so much life changing information?

"You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have." - Maya Angelou

I try to create something daily, whether it's a blog entry, something for an ebook, or visual art. I'd consider myself a pretty creative person and I love to try new things. I love hand lettering, painting, drawing, anything and everything. I've found that the more I create, the more ideas I have. If I go for a long stint without creating anything, I find it harder to jump back in. It's funny how that works.

I spend money on good clothes! I don't have a lot of clothes, but what I do have was a good price and has lasted me awhile. Other than that, I'm like you. I spend on travel and experiences.
