This morning I decided to stop by one of my old regular places for breakfast- something I’ve given up since writing up a strict budget. It’s a bagel shop that makes a great pumpernickel bagel. On the way in I was thinking to myself that I would just get a pumpernickel bagel with butter. No cream cheese, no coffee. Just keep it simple and cheap. When the cashier gave me the total, I seriously went into sticker shock! $2.05 for my simple bagel order. I couldn’t believe it cost that much. I’ve changed my shopping habits so much at the grocery store lately, always seeking the best deal for my money, that I was truly surprised. I’m afraid to say it, but I think I’m becoming frugal! At least I hope that is frugal behavior and not just cheap. 
By the way, if frugal food interests you, here is a great frugal food blog that I read- Cheap Healthy Good
