Is It Really Frugal or Just Embarrassing at Work?

I grew up pinching every penny, so even now—at 29, with a solid salary and a nice chunk of assets—I can’t shake the urge to save wherever I can. My company offers free meals, and yes, I shamelessly pack up leftovers in Tupperware to bring home for my husband. Sometimes I wonder if my coworkers are judging me, but old habits die hard, right? 😅 Lately, though, I’ve started to feel a bit awkward about it. I mean, am I crossing some unspoken office line? Or is this just smart living? It’s not like we’re struggling, but the thought of wasting free food just feels wrong. Has anyone else dealt with this weird guilt or office side-eye? I’d love to hear how you balance frugality with fitting in at work. 🥲 #WorkplaceStories #FrugalLiving #OfficeLife #JobCareer
