Superscrimpers are losing it

Littlestars_2

The one thing i dont like is how they break the cost down per portion/item/etc when in reality if you don't have half the stuff its going to cost you more in the long run. I remember one was crating your own perfume in which you needed some vodka and oils, may as well go to the shops and buy a bottles for less.

Though my favourite ever tip was in a magazine i read when a couple rather than vacuuming the floor would vacuum the dog instead to save time, makes me chuckle every time.

:rotfl:My dog who sheds a lot of fur is really scared of the hoover so that wouldn't work for me.

I watch it sometimes, the one moment from it that always sticks out to me if from the Christmas episode. A woman showing you how to make a "glamorous" necklace for a special friend, your mum etc, out of bits of cereal box cut in to bow shapes and covered in coloured felt :rotfl:

The person who gets such gift will apparently love their new "statement necklace"

:rotfl:I think the statement you would be making by giving this as a gift is "I hate you".

The one and only episode I saw suggested that "to save money on a weekend, instead of going to the pub with friends, sit in your back garden with some fizzy pop".

Not quite the same atmosphere is it.

Just watched this last night and she made a ring out of a stone and sprayed it gold seriously it would cost more to buy the spray paint than it would to buy a ring in primark. Its getting silly now i doubt these superscrimpers really do half these things in real life.

I sent an e-mail to C4 during the last series of SS. It was following the episode during which one of their "experts" stated that if you get ice from your freezer and let it melt, then you have water which is perfectly safe to put in car batteries.

I pointed out that this is a total falacy and that their poor advice could cost people money when their batteries end up dying due to knackered electrolyte.

I didn't get any sort of reply from them.

Oh we laughed at that one, and we howled at the silver windscreen cover handbag. Hilarious. You just wouldn't would you?

I saw one recently which was if you feel tempted to spend to put your cards in water and in the freezer, meaning if you want to do some shopping online on a spur you cant as your card is frozen in a block of ice. It makes me wonder as i would have thought putting your card with the chip into water/ice would damage it.

Anyone else notice how Mrs Moneypenny looks so much like Elaine Paige from her "I Know Him So Well" days?!!!

Wouldn't work for me, I've memorised my card details.

OH and I were absolutely peeing ourselves laughing at that crappy pebble "ring" :rotfl:
