Lol

I wash out ziploc bags and reuse them.

I cut the toothpaste tube right open to get the rest out.

I always take the bread home when dining out.

Chinese Tupperware is the best.


i'm sort of the same way!!

I don't use Ziploc bags though. I re-use the sandwich bags for sandwich take away when we go hiking or biking ect. and set them in the back pack. this saves $ $ on bags to buy.

yes, I do too! with the free bread. especially the fresh ones! I don't take home the hard tough ones.

I re-use the Chinese food take away Tupperware stuff. The Chinese Asian restaurants have plastic containers for take away and I sometimes re-use it. I clean it out and if I make some apple pie or cake I will cut some slices for the neighbors and put them in the plastic containers and give them to the neighbors and tell them don't bother giving back the containers cause they were not Tupperware. lol

I also cut out the toothpaste tube for the last residues.

I keep some of the water bottles for re-use when we go out hiking ect.

these bottles, instead of throwing them, however if it's too many, I wont keep them. It will accumulate.



these guys look like they are making entrepreneur work for water.





I don't thik I could do the funeral thing the lady above does. I think what she does seems really valid and good to help people, but I don't want their old clothes.

but wow is she BRAVE!!

she looks like a super sleuth about getting good RESOURCES.

The lady that wears Dead people clothes.. I don't really have a problem with that bc some people give their dead family members clothes to thrift stores and people who shop at thrift stores would NEVER know that their clothes came from dead people.... But this video:



It's TOOO extreme.. She's taking breast milk form her friends 😢... Like isn't that a little too far?? Taking a Gas station changing table... Isn't that TOO far??

this is NOT from the extreme cheapskates program but this woman live luxuriously....

she has a beautiful home, beautiful kitchen, children, and her life style she said is V.I.P.

note: it is said she was in financial RUIN in the past, so she must have had bankruptcy, ect. and fallen on hard times before she probably got some good tips to be FRUGAL.


I wonder what's the name of her blog.. Would love to see some of her tips..

yeah I've never heard of it to be honest. but then again, people in the past (and they probably still do) hire nannys for breast feeding so it's sort of the same way without having to hire a nanny at home to breast feed your baby.

I was kind of shocked at the amount of breast feed milk in the fridge/freezer? but hey it saves her money. lol

the gas station changer is ugly looking though. it looks broken up and beat up.

did you see this one??
