Extreme Cheapskates

Extreme Cheapskates gives you an insider's look at the most outrageous penny-pinching people around. From making their own reusable cloth toilet paper to singing for their supper, you won't believe their extreme and inventive ways to save money.

These people are insane.

They reuse paper towels by rinsing them out and hanging them up to dry.

One guy went dumpster diving for an anniversary gift for his wife. He found a dead rose. And yes, gave it to his wife. For a card, he took one she had already received and taped 'Happy Anniversary' over the previous greeting.

Another lady refuses to buy toilet paper and uses washcloths instead.

Another man uses one ply of two ply toilet paper.

One guy steals ketchup packets from restaurants and fills his bottles at home.

He picked up rice from in front of the town hall (from being thrown at weddings) and took it home and cooked it.

In restaurants, he asks people if he can have the food on their plates they don't eat.

1. I think there is some type of personality disorder

with most of those people. The one who doesn't buy tp is NUTS! If I was to pick up rice it would take me 30 mins. to get even a handful. Plus you're picking up whatever else is on the sidewalk!

The show makes me nauseous!

2. Did you see how they made the salad?

Went to the park, picked weeds and voila! a salad.

I saw that show, it's disgusting.

BTW, did you know that you can perk up flowers with Viagra?

Scientists in Australia originally discovered Viagra's plant preserving qualities and the research was published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ).
The BMJ said: "Viagra can double the shelf life of cut flowers."
I think this study was probably a scam the scientists used to cop some free viagra.  One for the flowers, one for me, one for the flowers, one for me.

Why be cheap when you can get Liberal politicians to steal from decent and civilized working people?[/DUche]

I always thought it was too bad our governmental employees weren't cheapskates.
