She was a light-turn-offer. She was very good at managing he rmoney and especially at saving wherever she could. While I understood her well meaning, she sometimes drive me crazy turning off lights I wanted on!
Other things she would do to save was to turn off the oven or stove a little early, since it would stay hot for the rest of the cooking time. It was pennies saved, but it made her feel good.


Elle economisait en eteignant les lumieres. Elle gerait tres bien son argent, et savait tres bien economiser. Meme si je comprenais le principe, elle me rendait parfois folle a eteindre des lumieres que je voulais allumees!
Parfois, elle eteignait aussi le four ou la cuisiniere avant la fin de la cuisson, puisqu'ils restaient chauds. C'etait seulement des centimes d'economise, mais ca la faisait se sentir bien.
