Money Saving gone TOO far?

The thought of using someone else bath water is kinda...gross to me Like you say, they are scrubbing off their dead skin and bits of who knows what...even my OH (if I had one) Kids tho...not as bad, I mean my mum baths with her dog and much as I love him...yeah, I'm not doing that 0.o Also buying super market brand coke just...no

Lots of posts on this thread already lol.

My 2p - I would, and have, shared a bath with OHs; as in both of us in there at the same time. But it would gross me out to get into dirty bathwater after my OH had got out. When I think about it there's no logic to it really, they're both essentially the same. I suppose when you get in the bath though the idea is to get clean so getting into dirty water doesn't make sense. also, I like my baths red hot so I come out looking like a lobster, so if we were taking turns I would have to be first.

More fun jumping in together too instead of one after the other.

I mean my mum baths with her dog

I would never under any circumstances eat the 'free nuts' or snacks' on the counter of a pub.Too many chaps seem to forget to wash their paws after going for a leek yuk

I do use my bath towel more than once, but I keep a smaller towel in my bathroom for drying hands and face I figure I'm mostly clean when I get out of the shower

I rarely have a bath these days but the kiddies share unless one of them is ill - last night DS went in first as DD is a bit poorly and I don't want him to catch any bugs by being in her bath water.

To right! nothing beats jumping into a warm water that likes like it has Rice Crispys floating in it

We used to call the blue label 9p cola from Te*cos 'floor cleaner'.... well it DID taste like it and would probably have been better as a cleaning product than a drink lol

The thought of sitting in someone else's used bathwater makes me feel quite ill!

I don't like making meals from leftovers either. I have always hated leftovers. I either cook small portions or cook a lot and immediately freeze portions.

I won't buy nasty cheap loo roll. My bum deserves better. Ditto feminine hygiene products. My lady parts don't do cheap!

I won't re-use tea bags, but I am a bit of tea snob.

I won't do anything illegal. I know someone who buys all their kids presents from a bloke down the pub the week before Christmas. It's very obvious they are stolen Christmas presents. I also don't like grabbing more than my fair share. For example, I work in a library and we sometimes have stuff to give away (Bookstart packs obviously, but also freebies from publishers etc). Some parents will try every trick in the book to get their kids multiple free items. I couldn't bring myself to deprive someone else of something by taking more than one.

I could have written this...my sentiments exactly

TBH people saying about germs from food where people have been eating from are not basing things on facts, simply feelings. Nothing wrong with that, but the facts are the majority of germs/viruses are spread through skin to skin contact. So if you cuddle/touch or kiss the other family members you shouldn't worry about this. Fair enough if the thought of it puts you off, but that's all it is. In that case the way forward is smaller portions and seconds if required.

You are talking minute amounts of germs and as long as the "new" dish is thoroughly reheated they will be killed by the heating process anyway.

Its like all the use by and best before dates, causes so much waste its crazy.

Obviously if someone has a compromised immune system you have to be more vigilant, but that's a whole new issue.

Leftovers on a plate, although rare, would be scraped into the compost bin.

Very unhygienic to keep them.

I don't think it's unhygienic to use any leftovers from my plate. As long as I put it in the fridge in an appropriate container and reheat it properly, what's the harm? If I had a family I'd still do it. I can't bear wasting food, especially if it tastes good.
