Money Saving gone TOO far?

Ooooo, I couldn't do that - I'm a lazy b*gger though, so only do it once a week. By Sunday night, I am approaching Yeti-status

In my defence I'm not a very hirsute person

Someone in work was talking about shaving the top of her legs - I don't even have hair on the top of my legs :eek:

Like belly button fluff - is that for real?

Am I really going to gross you out if I say I don't do my armpits either (you can barely see the hair and it seems more trouble than it's worth:D)

Im not massively hairy either so dont shave the tops of my legs but do do my underarms as I wear sleeveless dresses a lot.

I read somewhere that someone puts their sanitary towels (used) in the washer then uses them again. Thats one step too far I think, plus how would they stick to your knickers? :rotfl:

Do they mean the cloth ones, I wonder. I would think the disposable ones would disintegrate in the wash?

pop scoop bags.
because we reuse our own bags for shopping I dont have an endless supply of t's s's bags!!! I have been known to help myself out of the bag recycle ,outside the supermarket, its very pot luck but you can usually work out the good bundles. In the event of no bags I have used sandwich bags, bread bags always save these lol and the plastic bags fruit/pots come in. Clear bags are not ideal but better than leaving the poo on the ground:T

... I did contemplate collecting it along with tumble dryer fluff to use as cushion stuffing at one point I didn't though *phew*

I don't think there is anything disgusting that I do OSwise. I don't particularly like pulling the meat off a chicken carcase but I do it to make the most of it.

You can see others' money saving taken too far here; I'll add this thread later.

No apparently the modern ones that usually have wings were fine on a 30 degree wash. I cant really see how thats possible though and dont have the stomach to try it. Surely they would need a wash cycle all to themselves so not very mse. Cant remember where I read it though, will have a quick google!

I've just scraped the kids leftovers from their plates back into the pan and will heat them up for my supper! It wont be cordon bleu but am sure it will taste ok. My dh says that is disgusting, I think its just common sense :rotfl:

What's the most disgusting thing you do?

Whoops, I do that ALL the time :beer:
After I've gone to the trouble of making a nice meal I think well there is no way I'm going to put what they don't want to eat in the bin, so put them in a container and take to work for the next day's lunch
I've been doing this for at least a year and so far no food poisoning

I put the hair from our hairbrushes in the compost heap.
