Cheap cos I have to be cheap.
Frugal? Picture me laughing as Mad Gerald in The Blackadder. I check the prices of things I like on mysupermarket.com, to see which of the Big Four have the deal this week. Sometimes none. Then I spend money on frivolous things like Jelly Belly candles in the same store, just because I am bored and acquisitive and they smell good. Or buy a new skirt on eBay just because it's 99p, when a day before I walked two miles to get 30p off a packet of cornflakes.
