I wonder if I’m really being frugal or if I am just being cheap. To me, frugal implies using resources in the wisest fashion and cheap implies a specific focus on getting the lowest price. Cheap or frugal? Cheap or frugal? Cheap or frugal? Cheap or frugal? Cheap or frugal? Cheap or frugal?

I donated plasma 5 times in February which is short of my goal of 8 times. I usually donate on Friday and Sunday mornings and I missed a few days due to schedule conflicts. This money is a combination of donation earnings, referring my husband, and other bonuses. This money is going towards our summer beach vacation.
