How cheap can you be??

An old Dutch couple used to visit my home when I was a kid. They bought one tea bag with them and went on and on about it. First, it was dipped on his cup, then hers, then my Granny's cup. Then she would place it aside, saying it could be reused once dried out. When they'd filled their bellies up they'd leave and call out as they did "dont forget to use the teabag again as it is quality tea".

My mother refused to throw out the small pieces of ivory soap. She collected them in a big empty ice cream container and it sat under the bathroom sink for years. One day I threw it out and she never even noticed it was gone

She also wouldn’t throw out old spices in jars. We literally laughed that she’d had stuff from the 1950’s

My grandfather was so cheap, he owned one light bulb and carried it from room to room.

How about buying generic cereal and putting it in the name brand box.

My mother would bring the almost empty ketchup bottles down to the basement, turn them upside down, and let the dregs slowly drip into another container to make sure we got every last drop.

My parents grew up during the depression and they were pretty resourceful.
Cleaning out their house once they passed was no easy task.

We used to make jokes about my mother knitting bacon rinds into socks..😷

Damn, I'm a miser par excellence but this is too much. 🙈

Check her purse for sugar packets fro restaurants

As cheap as needs be.

I meannnn toothpicks are already cheap to begin with
