Sounds like there could be mental health issues involved. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-anyone-see-extreme-cheapskates-show#post-758118 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 13:04:27 +0000 Anonymous 758118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep. I watched the same episode that you did, Victoria. It's hard to believe people can be like that. Which is worse? Being an extreme cheapskate or being a hoarder? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-anyone-see-extreme-cheapskates-show#post-757102 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 13:14:46 +0000 ramya 757102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There was something similar in Oprah once!!!<br /> And a man "Took" flowers from funeral home for his wife's birthday </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-anyone-see-extreme-cheapskates-show#post-757099 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 13:10:03 +0000 Anonymous 757099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see what's appalling about washing wipes. We do that with our kids (and use cloth diapers too). It isn't something we practice as a family, but washing a bucket of soiled wipes isn't that gross, really, and the money we have saved and waste we have eliminated (heh) is staggering.</p> <p>I don't think I would be dumpster diving for food though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-anyone-see-extreme-cheapskates-show#post-756946 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 05:08:52 +0000 rachylou 756946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No way. I can't believe he has a wife. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-anyone-see-extreme-cheapskates-show#post-756747 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 00:51:50 +0000 D'Ellen 756747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On the episode I watched a family was using cloth rags instead of toilet paper, depositing them in a container and then washing them to re-use. That was appalling, but what finally made me change the channel was the man who cooked goat (or maybe it was sheep?) heads for a celebratory dinner. "Reality" TV at its worst! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-anyone-see-extreme-cheapskates-show#post-756575 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 21:51:42 +0000 Victoria 756575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this is a show that shows people who take saving money to the whole new level. I am all for saving money as my family was quite poor when I was growing up but most of these people aren't poor and some have hundreds of thousands in the bank. One of the things that I have seen:<br /> young proffesional going to shop for food in a dumpster, turning off her gas and using hot plate instead, not buying new or even used/seconhand clothes(ever) and not buying any furniture inless its something she found in the dumpster<br /> Another guy who took showers with clothes on so clothes could be washed at the same time because he didn't want to use washing machine. He didn't want to actually buy cups to drink out of so he was using old yogurt cartons. And because he didn't want to waste water, he only flushed toilet once a week.</p> <p>But the guy who made the biggest impression on me didn't want to spend money on anniversary gift for his wife so he went to dumpster and got-old wilter flowers, rusted metal teapot and he also bought her a bottle of water because it was the cheapest thing in the store. While he was in the restaurant with his wife, he was going to other tables and asking people for their leftover food to take home.<br /> I am pretty speechless </p>
