Wow, for the first time I'm starting a Frugals thread! I'll start it by giving a very modest frugal effort DH and I made, which was to give a family member the gift of medical marijuana lotion to ease her neck pain. She has her own medical marijuana card, though, and it's all legal to buy here in Washington, so it's all good. Since her medical insurance doesn't cover it, and she is trying to declutter her own home, we felt we could give her something she truly needed, wanted, and would consume. We saw her yesterday and when she put the lotion on her neck, she got virtually instantaneous relief. It was great to see the tension on her face ease as the pain dissipated. I'm not sure if that qualifies as necessarily frugal, because there was no discount on it, but we knew it was something that was fairly priced, of excellent quality, and something she would use...more along the lines of simplicity, plus allowing her to spend her own money on other needs besides medication.
