The Cheapskate Factory
We have all done something in the past that might be viewed as being very frugal. One blog post on extreme frugality documented several accounts of this, including these interesting few:
- Bring your own cheese when eating hamburgers out so you won’t be charged for a cheeseburger
- Writing on post it notes in pencil so you can reuse them
- Shutting off water when people visit so they will be forced to use the bathroom multiple times and not waste a flush
Crazy, right? I know if you searched deep down inside yourself, you could come up with a few things that you have done, so let’s hear them! Post your most extreme cutback– temporary or permanent– that you made to save money in the comments section.
I’ll start: I haven’t purchased a T-shirt in over 10 years. Every T-shirt in my wardrobe was either given to me by my school, earned from an athletic team, won from some contest, or something similar. We’ll see how long I can keep my streak up.
