Frugality Runs in the Family

This morning Grant told me he needed a binder for Spanish class. Then he remembered he had one in his room, so no, he didn't need one.   But then he asked for duct tape. ??

*This* is what I found him putting into his backpack to take to school today (so every person there would think we are the poorest family east of the Mississippi?)!

I hopped right down to the basement and pulled a decent binder right out of my school supply box.  It looks perfect, like new. 

I bought it last weekend at a yard sale for 50 cents.  : )
