Are you a good shopper? Do you check prices and know when something is really a good price? Bravo. You are being careful with your money. As Stewards we are asked to be mindful of all the bounty that God has given us.
That means as our Patriarch, His Holiness Bartholomew has said:
"Orthodoxy is committed to ecology; it is the "green" Church par excellence. Our faith and our worship strengthen our commitment to the protection of creation and promote the "eucharistic use" of the world, and solidarity with creation. The Orthodox Christian attitude is the opposite of the instrumentalization and exploitation of the world."
So, continue to be fastidious as a Steward over all you have been blessed with. "Be Thou exalted, O God, above the Heavens, and Thy Glory above all the earth." (DL). God be praised for our bounty.
