Some money-saving habits of the people I've seen include:

- dumpster diving
- looking for change in/around pay-phones and public washers/dryers
- gathering salad fixings from the wild
- separating 2-ply toilet paper
- using cloths/soap and water in place of toilet paper
- cleaning out and reusing vacuum bags

these people are seriously insane.

I saw one where the couple shared their tooth floss, and the floss itself was only allowed to be 5 inches long or something.

I'm watching one right now where this one chick is sort of reasonable (apart from how she saves her piss in a bottle and uses it to nourish her plants, and only showers at the gym) and her boyfriend is an extreme asshole.

Some of these things that these people do are smart, but ... man, they're crazy.

VEEP - Julia Louis Dreyfus kills it - best comedic actress of our time.

I was watching the Walking Dead as fodder before Breaking Bad finished,

Not quite feeling it anymore.

I don't really like Julia because of her association with Seinfeld and Adventures of New Christine but I tolerate her for Veep. She's pretty funny in it.

these people on "Extreme Couponing" are pissing me off so hard right now.

why would you need hundreds of rolls of paper towels/toilet paper? Why would you need 55 bottles of mustard, 40 boxes of cereal, 90 packets of whatever, etc.?

I feel like a lot of their hoards are just going to expire, and they're going to waste what they could have given to charity, after using so many coupons that they've practically gotten all that shit for free.

bottles of mustard don't expire though and neither do the other stuff. I'm sure they take that into account and get things that are non-perishables.

that's true, but who's going to use 30 bottles of mustard in their lifetime (this woman's husband doesn't even eat it, so she's sort of alone in her mustard world)?

then there was this one guy that had 1,000 tubes of toothpaste.

that's pretty cool but he could live to be 105 and there'd probably still be toothpaste in his basement.

Gah, hoarding so much though

Mr. Charlie 11-17-2013 03:16 PM

They sound like those crazies who perpetually prepare for doomsday/armageddon/nuclear fallout/the great reckoning by hoarding food supplies in their basements so when the rest of us are dead, they can live out their days stuck in a hole in the ground.
