Most embarrasing

Puzzledbubbles

Ok,

Ummmm,

What is your most embaressing thing that you have done to save some cash/not spend.

We ran out of loo roll on Monday night, OH went away with work and is back tonight, but ummm, rather than go buy some more (resulting in me deciding i need 50 other things as well,) i have been using some old face wipes that i grabbed in desperation and now have used since Tues am (am at work from 8:30 til 5:30 thou)

Am i really bad????????????????

Oh is back tonight so he will have to get some when he gets home i guess

I hope they were flushable so you don't end up with a plumbing bill!

Hiya,

Sounds more comfortable than the brown paper I used to use as a child. Had to remember to dampen it before sitting down, otherwise........ :eek: However, it was better than that tracing paper, stuff we used in primary school, I swear looking back it could cut concrete so you had to be very careful :rotfl:

lol,

glad its not me being really odd.

And, umm they were flushable cause i checked, see, i actually considered it about 2 seconds before desperation, think thats even sadder, lol

Cor blimey! No, I don't see anything wrong with that at all. If there is an alternative, use it. I have been called tight in my time though! :rotfl:

In desperate times, I would probably use a flannel and bung it in the washing machine!!! :rotfl: Haha, maybe that is taking it tooo far!

I've been cutting my dishwasher tables in half with a knife-the ball thingy really gets in the way! I've used kitchen rolls before if it's any consolation and poured some water in the milk to make it go further...

Stock up on hand wipes from Kentucky Fried Chicken and use those instead. You'll save cash on loo-roll AND have a lemony smelling bum for a little while.

It's a win-win situation!

Not really MS but in desperation I used several cheques once when there was no loo roll in a public loo. If someone wanted to dry them out & use them after they deserved any profit.:rotfl:

Its not very moneysaving going into KFC though is it?

I stack up on freebies as well as buying bread at its sell by date and freezing it. I am as tight as tuppence these days:rotfl: I have been know to buy cheap shampoo and decant it into empty bottles of rhe more expensive brands - now how tight is that?

Hey Puzzy,

now I know why you havent been on the smoking thread
Yep, I've done the face wipes & kictchen roll thing too in the past - quite neurotic about stocking up on loo rolls now tho, get down to 4 & i'm off to the shops smartish !!
