I can't imagine that Julian would deign to post in a thread for the poor unless perhaps to donate his takeaway carton to lessers.

Just the idea of Julian or Yada doing any coupon clipping/money saving of any kind had me laughing! Particularly for something like Outback.

I'm glad my perceived spending habits make you laugh... but I'm actually quite thrifty.

How much money per year would you say you spend at restaurants and bars?
I bet way more than the average American. Though perhaps your income is way higher than the average American.

I feel like this is headed towards another James Ford life lesson on why you should never spend money.
-
Nah, no lessons.
Depending on how much you make and what other bills you have, one can certainly afford to dine and drink at the establishments that get mentioned in the Gastro and Beer threads on this board. But I'd hardly call a diet of gourmet DC restaurants and craft beer (and wine and liquor?) as being "thrifty".

James, my mortgage last year = about 7.5% of me and my wife's gross income. I maxed out my 401k and my wife maxed out her SEP account, we invested a additional amount of money in the market, AND... we have life insurance. I don't buy "things." I spend money on doing things I enjoy; drinking, eating, seeing music, traveling. I buy clothes at Target or actually... I don't buy clothes. And based on the picture I posted of myself last week, I obviously don't get haircuts.
I'm glad you're so concerned about my once again perceived lack of thriftiness. I've long tried to stay away from responding to your uninformed posts about finances, insurance, investing, etc. but you really have no clue what you're talking about.
-
Great job managing your finances!
I'm not accusing you of anything. I myself buy craft beer, eat good food, and go on nice vacations. I also don't buy lots of "things". We're probably very alike in those respects.
But don't call yourself thrifty, at least when it comes to food and beverage purchases, on a food coupon thread! I mean, come on!
And I don't for one second believe that picture was a picture of you.

Buyer beware on this one.
The last time I was in P Street Whole Foods, their growler fill prices were so, so, so much higher than the growler fill prices at Foggy Bottom Whole Foods, that this offer was pointless.
I used mine way back when, and it was worth it then. I actually logged into my account recently, and found that my previous transaction hadn't invalidated my certificate. In essence, I could have a second (or maybe even more) certificate at no cost. But prices on the beer started at prices well above $10. So you were only getting a $10 discount on way overpriced beer, and in my case a growler I didn't need. So I passed.

I guess sometimes the truth hurts?
If you're eating meals at Le Diplomat and places of that ilk, you're not a thrifty eater.
A couple we're friends with both make six figure, do all their food shopping at Costco, get all their beer from Sam Adams mix packs, cut coupons out of the Sunday paper, and dine at ethnic restaurants in strip malls. That's eating thrifty.

Ha I got you beat. My wife's mortgage is 4.3 percent of our combined income. I will have to end up moving when my child is ready for school but right now I am enjoying not having much of a mortgage.
I like to spend money it is fun. I like expensive jeans, glasses, shirts, watches, cars. I like to go to expensive restaurants and order expensive food. I like staying in 5 star hotels when I am on vacation. If I wasn't going to spend so much money I could get a job that is fun like being a lifeguard.

what's your goal of being thrifty/frugal, JF? one can be frugal or thrifty for decades, and find themselves in a financial situation where they can start to splurge in certain areas, and continue to be thrifty in others. i call this "investing in yourself". sounds like yada has been plenty thrifty in his lifetime if he's allowed the luxuries you speak of, and you maybe should be asking him for advice rather than providing yours unsolicited.

Yeah I worked with a guy likes James Ford. Cheap as could be. Drove around in some old clunker, would always bring his lunch couldn't spend money on anything and then got laid off. It took him 9 months to get a job. This was right after 9/11 when no one was hiring. He was wiped out.

I just don't see what business it is of yours to determine whether other people are thrifty or not or EVEN whether being thrifty is a good thing or not...
Its just bad form.
It has nothing to do with the "truth" as you don't really know anything about people on this board and their finances but the bottom line is its just bad form...
Now if someone invites you to analyze or comment on their finances that's an entirely different matter.
Personally I find your attempts to analyze people's finances and parenting decisions to be offensive and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. I get it where it comes from though...clearly some deepseated insecurities make you need to validate yourself with your great choices as opposed to others.... its a truly insecure weak man that only feels good about himself by putting others down.

Why are we having an argument about who is the most frugal? I don't eat cheap ethnic food though. I think the one thing you should never scrimp on is the quality of food. No matter how much money you have if you don't have your health you have nothing.

you will always be able to go back to the website and print yourself another coupon. i don't believe that WF's computers are reporting back to the coupon website when a voucher is used. you'll note there is a "mark this coupon as used" button - the website doesn't know if it's still valid. if you print up another copy want walk into WF with it, it will come up as "used" at the WF register.
growler fills are stupid expensive at P Street. the $7 discount on a 32 oz probably makes sense. since i don't have a 32 and want one, i'll probably cash in on this at some point.

out of curiosity, what expensive jeans do you buy?
personally i buy one pair of raw denim a year. i work outdoors about 50% of the time, so when my nice jeans get old, i rotate them to my work jeans rotation. i'll have a pair of nice denim for 5+ years. financially it probably works out to be a wash... lower quality jeans i blow through every 6 months or so.

I actually wasn't putting him down. Just saying that he doesn't seem particularly "thrifty" if he's eating at Le Diplomat and drinking at Churchkey. It's fine if that's where he enjoys going. No judgement against him. Bravo to him for going where he enjoys going. but that's not "thrifty".
And bravo to my friends for eating/drinking as they wish, in a more thrifty manner.
I never said that thrifty was good or bad. Personally, I'd rather be thrifty when it comes to clothing or cars or by living in the burbs instead of the city rather than being thrifty on dining or vacations. I guess that makes me like Yada.

I average a pair of Levis every few years or so and follow the same model of then wearing said jeans for working in the yard, etc.

How do y'all feel about spot cleaning your Levis vs. putting them in the washing machine? I'm sure you can guess where I stand.

I don't wash my jeans unless I spill something on them or if they smell like a campfire/some other substance.

You're so funny.
I probably have $1500 worth of beer in my basement. My daughter went to Europe three times and the Caribbean twice before the age of five (my wife was only working part time from home so it was mostly on my dime). My wife and daughter both have expensive Tae Kwon Do memberships. My wife singlehandedly keeps Whole Foods afloat.
Do you carry any credit card debt from month to month? If you do, that makes you stupid.

I neve wash mine either. See, we have more in common!

you must be hung like walky.

Further investigation points to you being right.
I think the cheapest fill they had on 32 oz. when I was there was $15. And it was on something pedestrian.
I used mine way back when, and it was worth it then. I actually logged into my account recently, and found that my previous transaction hadn't invalidated my certificate. In essence, I could have a second (or maybe even more) certificate at no cost.

I never found the right model for Levis until I found the 514 line. Where were they all my life?

Really not thrifty in my eyes
they don't value food that tastes good, is nutritious, free from toxic things and doesn't destroy the environment shipping it from Vietnam/Chile
They kinda like beer, but don't really value quality or variety ...or a good backstory
Cutting coupons... I bet that if they did the ROI, it really wouldn't work out for them
1. coupons are usually for crap, processed food....so crap
2. they only usually are only for a few items in the store, where the rest of the items are more...so are you saving money?
3. sometimes you have to go to multiple stores to reap the benefits...so gas and time
In my opinion...they are not thrify. They are cheap, with poor taste in food and beer (and the environment) and they are really like to waste hours and gas to save a few dollars

Please point out where I was giving Yada unsolicited advice. The three of us are probably more on the same page than not.
I guess sometimes the truth hurts?
If you're eating meals at Le Diplomat and places of that ilk, you're not a thrifty eater.
A couple we're friends with both make six figure, do all their food shopping at Costco, get all their beer from Sam Adams mix packs, cut coupons out of the Sunday paper, and dine at ethnic restaurants in strip malls. That's eating thrifty.
James Ford you are so annoying when you get on your money management soapbox... just cut it out...nobody likes it...WTF? Who are you to tell people what to do with their money?
what's your goal of being thrifty/frugal, JF? one can be frugal or thrifty for decades, and find themselves in a financial situation where they can start to splurge in certain areas, and continue to be thrifty in others. i call this "investing in yourself". sounds like yada has been plenty thrifty in his lifetime if he's allowed the luxuries you speak of, and you maybe should be asking him for advice rather than providing yours unsolicited.
it's indirect, but it's there. you're using a different vehicle for your financial preaching here... using a third party for an example of what you think it the correct definition of thrifty. maybe your six figure friends have six figure jobs because they spent their whole life not being thrifty, and now they have to because they lived outside their means their whole life or had too many kids, etc.. the fault in all of your financial discussion is that nothing is as black as white as you describe it as. correlation does not imply causation, and all that jazz.
edit: also, everything sidehatch said.

Do you carry any credit card debt from month to month? If you do, that makes you stupid.
I have no credit card debt. I don't charge credit cards and pay them off at the end of the month either. I don't spend more than I have in my checking account. I usually put whatever I have left over into my savings account each pay period. I have a couple of thousand every two weeks to spend on whatever I want. Usually I end up with a surplus.
I pay more than my minimum car payments each month. I put the max into my 401k. But if I see something I want to buy I buy it. Is this some sort of contest?

Now who is the one who is being a judgmental prick? ;)
I never claimed that their lifestyle was better or worse than Yada's. Just that they likely spend far less on food. And for the record, our food spending habits are probably closer to Yada's than to our friends.

Really not thrifty in my eyes
they don't value food that tastes good, is nutritious, free from toxic things and doesn't destroy the environment shipping it from Vietnam/Chile
They kinda like beer, but don't really value quality or variety ...or a good backstory
Cutting coupons... I bet that if they did the ROI, it really wouldn't work out for them
1. coupons are usually for crap, processed food....so crap
2. they only usually are only for a few items in the store, where the rest of the items are more...so are you saving money?
3. sometimes you have to go to multiple stores to reap the benefits...so gas and time
In my opinion...they are not thrify. They are cheap, with poor taste in food and beer (and the environment) and they are really like to waste hours and gas to save a few dollars
so go for it...emulate them

Why do you have car payments? Wouldn't it be better to pay cash for the car and invest the money you pay on the payments in something with a return on investment? I'm asking, not accusing.

I like to spend money it is fun. I like expensive jeans, glasses, shirts, watches, cars. I like to go to expensive restaurants and order expensive food. I like staying in 5 star hotels when I am on vacation. If I wasn't going to spend so much money I could get a job that is fun like being a lifeguard.
out of curiosity, what expensive jeans do you buy?
personally i buy one pair of raw denim a year. i work outdoors about 50% of the time, so when my nice jeans get old, i rotate them to my work jeans rotation. i'll have a pair of nice denim for 5+ years. financially it probably works out to be a wash... lower quality jeans i blow through every 6 months or so.
I guess they aren't really that expensive. 80 bucks on average I guess. But I buy Lucky Brand Jeans. They seem to hold up better than most jeans.

I could I guess save up five years for a car but as interest payments are next to nothing on new cars it really doesn't make any sense. Also you will earn next to nothing putting your money in the bank. What can you invest in now that will guarantee you a ROI of any substance?
Did you pay cash for your house?

I didn't pay cash for my house, but we made as large of a down payment as we could, and pay it off more aggressively than necessary. Which may not be the most financially prudent thing, but getting rid of all debt would make me a happier man.

So you can retire early? Well if you use those two egg mcmuffins for 3 bucks every day you could save quite a bit of money.

What do you consider "retiring early"?
My brother just "retired" from his government job at age 44. He's a happy man. I also think he will run out of money if he's not thrifty.
I myself enjoy what I do and never want to retire. I suppose if I had all my debt paid off and had money left over after helping out my daughter and maybe my mom financially, maybe I'd give more to charity.

I also took her and paid her way on two international vacations (she had never been out of the country prior to that), and pay 100% of her bill when we go out anywhere. I'd help her out more if I could, but my wife would never allow it. Yes, what a dick I am.

I know you're just trying to be funny. My dad was the t first person on either side of my family to graduate college, and my mom was the first person on her side of the family to graduate high school (or so I think). Her dad dropped out of school after grade 2 to work in the cotton fields. No socialite friends when you come from white trash.

My mom created her own life by making bad financial decisions, or perhaps more accurately, not making good ones. On her own. My primary job is to provide a good life for my family (meaning my wife and daughter are my family), not dig my mom our of her financial holes. My mom completely understands and agrees with that. She makes enough to get by, as long as she is thrifty.
I'm sure most people on this board take more money from their parents than they give to them.

I think I speak for the board when I say, James Ford, we don't give a shit about any of your financial decisions or vacations.... again, it merely shows how insecure you are that you permanently trot out your lifestyle choices as some paragon of virtue.
Personally, I think if you spent a bit more time, you know, making money instead of posting on this board maybe you could afford to eat at Le Diplomat once in a while without worrying so much about your kid's college fund or whatever... At the end of the day you're "thrifty" because you really ain't got all that much.... trust me: the well heeled don't sit around on internet boards talking about how much money they can save on a growler or steak at outback.

We ate at Rasika for our anniversary. We go to nice places on special occasions. Special occasions are birthdays, Mother's Day, anniversary. Some people regard "Friday night" as a special occasion. That's not thrifty. But if it makes them happy and doesn't sink them into debt, good for them.
Of course rich people don't spend all day on message boards talking about what they picked up at used record fairs or talking about shows. Except maybe Seth, but then that's his job. I never said it was my goal to be rich.

Yeah what gets me the most is he has this arrogant attitude that what he is doing is so much better than us. I don't get how he thinks he is so much better than everyone else either. And this sob story.
James ,My mom had an 8th grade education and grew up in Nazi Germany. She came to this country at 28 and couldn't speak English. My father never gave me or my sister anything and he didn't graduate from college. No one paid for our college. No one gave us anything.
My sister bought a million dollar house in Fairfax City and paid cash. My mom paid cash for her brand new condo. We owe less than 50k on our house. Most of us are adults and know how to manage our household. We don't need your advice James. If we did we would ask for it. And if my Mom or my Mother-in-law needed money I would expect my wife or me to give what we wanted to them without the other partner telling us we couldn't.
If you pay off your house let us know. That is something to be proud of. Telling us we are wrong and you are right is just annoying as hell.

I think I speak for the board when I say, James Ford, we don't give a shit about any of your financial decisions or vacations.... again, it merely shows how insecure you are that you permanently trot out your lifestyle choices as some paragon of virtue.
Personally, I think if you spent a bit more time, you know, making money instead of posting on this board maybe you could afford to eat at Le Diplomat once in a while without worrying so much about your kid's college fund or whatever... At the end of the day you're "thrifty" because you really ain't got all that much.... trust me: the well heeled don't sit around on internet boards talking about how much money they can save on a growler or steak at outback.
dude...for the last time... nobody cares... .the point is I don't consider it rude of you to talk about your own lifestyle choices even if I couldn't give less of a shit. ...but when you start talking about others.. making assumptions...."grading" them on their choices....that's just poor form... and if you don't get it at your age...well, you don't get it and you evidently aren't going to get it... I feel kind of sorry for you actually.
and yes, you are permanently putting down other people's choices based on lack of thriftiness...whether its concerts people go to, restaurants or whatever...i've had you even tell me that i should feel bad for spending money on tickets instead of putting it into a college fund for my kids .. come on now...get the fuck out of here hoser.
Why does he have to tell you how much money he is saving for his kids college education? It is his business.
-
I think you should both shake hands, put this behind you, and consider purchasing a walk-in humidor together as a good investment project.
-
He doesn't. But it would be a better and smarter way to put me in my place than simply telling me to go fuck myself.
So how much are you putting in your two kids college funds, monthly, Hutch? You could really put me in my place by telling me you put $500 in each and still have money left over for expensive concert tickets!

It isn't a competition. I think his response was appropiate. I don't get why you feel you need to give people financial advice. When you can afford to buy a new car let us know.

Humidor, sabreage, Burberry...

Yeah what gets me the most is he has this arrogant attitude that what he is doing is so much better than us. I don't get how he thinks he is so much better than everyone else either. And this sob story.
James ,My mom had an 8th grade education and grew up in Nazi Germany. She came to this country at 28 and couldn't speak English. My father never gave me or my sister anything and he didn't graduate from college. No one paid for our college. No one gave us anything.
My sister bought a million dollar house in Fairfax City and paid cash. My mom paid cash for her brand new condo. We owe less than 50k on our house. Most of us are adults and know how to manage our household. We don't need your advice James. If we did we would ask for it. And if my Mom or my Mother-in-law needed money I would expect my wife or me to give what we wanted to them without the other partner telling us we couldn't.
If you pay off your house let us know. That is something to be proud of. Telling us we are wrong and you are right is just annoying as hell.
the atomic story continues to fascinate me.

Trust me. I can afford to buy a new car, with cash. I drive all of 20 miles per week, so seemingly don't need a new car, do I? There, I let you know.

Agreed. Am I the only one wondering if by "came to this country" he means "had a multi-decade layover in South/Central America before inevitably making it into America once the attention died down"?

My total miles on my commute during the weeks is 25 miles. I walk home if I have to much to drink at happy hour. And I have a new car. And when you mean you can pay cash for a new car you mean a Nissan Versa sedan, don't you? The real question is would your wife let you buy a new car?
-
Yes, my wife would let me buy a new car. I have enough money to buy something much nicer than a Nissan Versa. But I count that money as "life insurance" money. Rather than paying money to an insurance company for life insurance.
Why spend money on a car I don't need? It makes no sense.

A new car would be much safer than your current ride.
Here is my financial advice to you. Cash out the 401k. Buy yourself an Audi R8. Go to Neiman Marcus and spend like there is no tomorrow. Don't forget to buy something nice for your mom and then go on an around world the vacation leaving the wife and kid at home. You only live once. Why not live it up a bit.

No it would not because I don't accept you have any right to know anything about my finances or how I spend money for concerts or not....
the point is its none of your business what other people do with their money or whether they are as cheap as you are;yes cheap people always think they are "thrifty" and "smart" with their money..trust me nobody walks around thinking they're cheap but if you've been around this world a while you know there are cheap people out there.... and for you to constantly make it your business what others do with their money is rude.
like I said..if you don't get it man...you don't get it...
I mean people have to explain their financial decisions to YOU because of exactly WHY? who the fuck are you? My financial advisor? A financial advisor of any sort?
You have a very bad tendency to like to tell others what the right thing to do is- invariably whatever you are doing- without knowing them or their circumstances at all.... when they protest- as I'm doing- you try to bait them into telling you about their finances or what have you...
i'm done with this.

Im vegetarian so, no, I will not be using that.
I can't speak for all "liberals" but I'd estimate less than 5% of all my restaurant visits are to national chains.

No... and rarely.

Do liberals actually eat at chain restaurants?
Only when I'm in Orange County and do as the locals do.

The only chains I can think of that I go to are:
Starbucks (frappuchino sugar fixes)
Ben and Jerry's (once a year on free ice cream day)
Noodles and Company (my daughter makes me)
Papa Johns (my daughter makes me)
Whole Foods (wife is a shareholder)
Please post any coupons for those....

I don't consider whole foods a chain RESTAURANT.

My Whole Foods serves wine and beer along with their food, so I take a different stance.

I have three coupons good for 20% off the entire bill at TGIFridays. They are good (one each) for July, August, and September. I can snail mail them to anyone who wants them. Each coupon can be used twice.

Huh? They are all the same.. only one difference and it depends on whether you get lucky..sometimes the fries are taken out too early and are a bit soggy..sometimes they are nice and crispy
The music is the same, decor is the same, everything is the same...

Speaking of dongs... Little known fact, the hot dogs at Five Guys are pretty good.

Anohter difference: shopping mall Five Guys don't have the peanuts..... I guess cause of potential nut allergy issues...

Well know facts: you really think you are as cool as [insert explicative] and you jump on just about any opportunity to share that with the class

I'm not sure what you are talking about and why you find the need to personally attack me whenever you get the chance.
I do go to Starbucks weekly. Do I lose the Sidehatch coolness card on that one?

I haven't been to an Olive Garden since the 90's.
Never been to the steak place.
I try to eat at Five Guys as often as possible.

It's cool not to have eaten at Lone Star Steakhouse, 5 Guys Burgers and Fries, and Olive Garden? Who is determining these things?

Love Five Guys
I assume everyone knows the first Five Guys was started at the intersection of Glebe and Columbia in Arlington in 1986?
I've always heard the story as a father said to his four sons: I can pay for your college or you can use that money to open up a restaurant with me....

all I can say is you started it :P
really never forgave you for calling me a bonehead jock or something
but you also constantly go on and say the most judgmental, egotistical and arrogant things on a daily basis. And I just find it hard not to call you out repeatedly.
But I've decided that I'm the bigger man and will try my darnedest to stop publicly shamming you
it's really become a guilty pleasure and I really should stop, as there are enough people being @$$holes out there

Olive Garden is about to try a pretty outlandish gimmick to lure folks in the door: pasta up the wazoo.
Well, you know those guys better than I do ;D

it’s free cone day at Haagen Dasz. I was in the line and some woman in front of me asked me if I could have some money so she could get some food. She then proceeded to instruct the *employee to “put extra ice cream on my cone.”
*Not Henry Rollins or Ian MacKaye
