This is pretty extreme money saving

Some of that is disgusting.

I'm sorry, but scraping food that has been cooked, and half eaten, back into the bottle to reuse is TOO far...

Peeling bananas and buying only the edible part! Novel I admit. You could do the same with oranges and other fruits.

What a mental case. Have to hope a lot of it is exaggerated for the cameras!

Some of her food habits look plain unhygienic. I also don't understand how moving 1 light bulb around will save her significantly more money than just turning off the ones you're not using, especially since there's a child in the house, with stairs, and she's in the US so if that child falls it's going to cost her one way or the other. Navy showers is just cruel. Sure, keep them short and be economical about it, but standing naked in a wet shower to lather yourself up at 5am before work is enough to put anyone in a foul mood.

I bet they're ill a lot.

OMG is this real?! Had to stop watching 2 mins in, those poor kids!!! Imagine when they want to start having friends over or birthday parties, very sad. I like my MSE ways but nobody likes a tightwad!

My sentiments exactly. Looking at the pasta-scraping ritual, I am supposing it won't cause the diner any harm given much of the food is coated in preserve of some sort, but can you imagine how bad it must taste, the goodness having diminished at this point - it must be sickening.

Shocking but funny to watch. I'm frugal, I'm 28 soon with two kids n hubby money is tight renovating a house and renting our flat. If the kids are wasteful with food I will cover it back up if their is enough and they have it another time if it's freezable? Or next day if going in the fridge but I'd never scrap sauce back in a jar or cook a lasagne in the dishwasher but I've done it in a microwave lol

There's frugal and there's nasty! couldn't believe she peels the bananas in the store and only buys the insides. But the taking the lightbulb from room to room, that's so ridiculous its funny.

I watched that last week hoping I'd learn something but it was gross. There was one man who cycled into town, stopped at every telephone by the side of the road then got his tape measure out and dug around the grassy kerbs looking for fallen change. When he got into town he raided the laundrettes lint from the dryers for his fires and checked the money trays again for change. He then went into a cafe and felt down the sides of the sofas for fallen change.

After hours of this he'd raised 7 dollars so he went to a butchers to buy something for tea and purchased two goat heads. He cycled home and cooked them for his wife (they looked frozen to me in the butchers but anyhow..) his poor wife came home to roasted goat heads for tea, cheap wine he'd decanted into a posh bottle to fool her and a fire using the lint he'd got.

I wish l was lying about what is seen but I'm not! :cool:
