As for frugality I am inconsistent. I have spates of being frugal and other times of being a bit cavalier in my spending. I certainly waste far too much food and I don't always buy the most cost effective options.
That said, anything above about £50 I give serious consideration. I tend not to renew appliances or tech until it no longer functions. Though I have no doubt thrown away fixable things because I couldn't be arsed sorting out a repair, and I have inadvertently had to keep clothing that doesn't fit me because i didnt get my act together and get it back to the shop within the statutary refund period... I'm generally as frugal as my natural laziness, incompetence and inconsistency allow.
