How cheap are you?

[Zontor]

I caught myself adding water to the empty shampoo bottle and using it to get just one more shampoo before throwing it out....got me thinking - how tight are others with their money?

 

[radioouman]

I change my own oil.

 

[Drakkon]

^ i do the same thing with shampoo

i re-use paper plates

 

[shimsham]

i split the 2-ply into 2 rolls

 

[nageov3t]

not really cheap at all.

I've thrown out half-empty bottles of shampoo before because I wanted to start using a different brand.

I make my own lunch (sandwich), sometimes, instead of eating out.

You'll just use more TP that way.

I blow up my own car tires....takes a while...

 

[blackdogdeek]

i do that with the shampoo too, but not because i'm cheap, but because i don't feel like stepping out of the shower and getting the floor all wet while i find a new bottle.

i may be inclined to do that shampoo thing once in awhile, but not so often anyhow....

 

[Zontor]

I've also washed and re-used plastic silverware...

--Asked for more dipping sauces AFTER I've paid for the food (they usually don't bother to charge you for the extra sauces)...

--Use my finger to get the extra solid deodorant out when I'm almost out and it's below the plastic "holder"

Mostly it depends on my mood. Sometimes I just like to see how far I can push it....

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

Cheap with some things, not cheap in other areas.

I do water to all my shampoo, and household cleaners, they can all last a little longer with water... also I change my own oil, I use 1-ply TP, and I have washed styrofoam plates before and plastic cups

Wouldn't it be you add water to whole milk?

i do the same thing but not because i am cheap. it's because i don't want to waste things. i mean if i am in the shower already, it's not hard to get some water in that shampoo bottle

Who doesen't add some water to the shampoo bottle when it's almost out?

Unless there's a full bottle sitting next to it, either you do that or you don't wash your hair....

Or you stumble around the bathroom sopping wet looking for the new bottle.

people with the foresight to think, days before it runs out, "oh, my shampoo bottle is almost empty. I should buy a new one and leave it near the shower."

 

[slightlyhuman]

i wear my underwear at least 3 times before washing them.

gotta save on detergent!

 

[Zedtom]

I'm cheap, but I usually take my socks off when I...oh, never mind.

 

[Mucho]

I painted my feet so I wont have to buy socks
