    I am jealous of those that are able to cut their own hair. If I did mine myself, it'd look like this.

    Ditto on the haircuts and clothes mending. I'm a poor student, so I try to DIY almost anything I can.

    I also fixed my MacBook once. A wire in the screen went kablooey and I had to take apart the entire thing using a tutorial online. It was a little terrifying, but I had nothing to lose except the $25 wire replacement. That was during the summer, and I'm still typing on it right now!

    I cook really well so I cater most family events.

    AND...I like to refinish furniture so what was old becomes new again (that also included re-upholstering). I find it soothing. This little hobby is not one that people pick me as doing at all.

    I cut my own hair... but I'm a girl so it is really just a case of being crazy cheap. I always wear a pony tail so it really doesn't matter how bad it turns out :tongue:

    Never had a mani/pedi either, so I do my own nails.

    I'm also pretty thrifty, I have to be as I'm a single mom. I cut my son's hair about half the time, I do my own eyebrows, my own pedicures, I've made my own laundry detergent before. I also don't have cable and watch everything online. I don't pay for texts, I use Google Voice over Wifi lol. I've also become my family's resident tech expert, so I've saved us all a lot of money that way.

    More likely to be stuff that my husband does such as diagnosing the car problems and then ordering the parts and fixing our car and he fixes stuff around the home. We both do lots of things that other people would pay for, but I wouldn't say that most people pay for stuff that they can do themselves (unless they had a bad experience with doing it incorrectly). There are some things I would trust myself to do better than paying someone else and there are other things I have learned it is better to have someone with more experience and training in that area handle.

    I color my own hair with the cheapest dye ($3.50). I do my own nails and eyebrows. I've never had a pedi/mani and haven't had my brows waxed since my daddy was paying my expenses. I cook a lot from scratch so I don't buy a lot of prepared foods. My husband and I were just talking today about getting some chickens so we won't have to buy eggs. We do most home repairs as my hubby is experienced in refrigeration, heating/air, plumbing, and electrical. He can do some car repairs too. I shop at thrift stores and eBay to save on clothing and other things, especially sporting goods for our boys! I can sew but I have not made any outfits since my boys were small but I do my own mending. If I can figure out a way to save a buck, I'm all over it!
