Am I the only one?

August 12th, 2026 at 03:08 pm

Sunday, after we got home from church, our plans were changed. A grandson said he wanted to come down which means I would be making lunch. I had already changed out of my "Sunday go to meeting clothes" (thank you Beverly Hillbillies) and had put on a top that was white with light flowers. However, once I learned I would be fixing lunch, I changed blouses since I would be making sloppy joes and didn't want to permanently stain my light blouse in case there was a splatter or spill. I wondered, am I being frugal trying to take care of my clothes? Am I the only one? I could have probably worn an apron, but figured this was safer.

    I often change my clothes two or even three times during the course of a day. It can be a nuisance. I wear certain workout clothes when I go to the gym, and I have another whole set of white clothes I wear when I am gardening (the better to see ticks and keep them off my skin).

    An apron is a good idea, but i understand your not wanting stains on good clothing, as they can be hard to get out.

    I don't cook much and these days, it's just for myself, but I get home and change into lounging clothes (which I wear for PJs) and I don't do any food prep in my work clothes.

    Wow I haven't had Sloppy Joes in like forever... and now I'm craving for it haha. I should look into that later today....

    I don't have an apron, but I do have old T-shirts I wear for when I am working on something or know I'm likely to get my shirts dirty. I think preserving your nice clothes is a frugal thing to do.

    ok ... get ready to giggle .... not only do I often eat with a "bib" (hand towel) but I also have a "dribble" shirt ... the shirt I wear before I go to work ... because all too often I brush my teeth and "spill" on myself ... or ... if I think I'm ok and don't need my "bib" then I spill food on myself .... I've done this for many years ... so I can't really blame it on old age ... ok... you can stop giggling now ... 😁it's truth.

    Turtle: Ok I did get a chuckle out of that, but I also think that's very smart. I have no shame when I am at a restaurant and they offer me a bib. Better to protect your clothes than to wear your food.
