Cheap things you do vol. every dollar counts

There's definitely frugality, then there's just low life ****

Purposely deceiving businesses/people to save is not the way

This reminds me of when I used to work retail and someone returned an Xbox one but it was filled with printing paper when the managers opened it later on in the day

Agreed.

I will say I did something similar(and failed).

Bought a used TV off Craigslist that was broken. Went to one Best Buy and bought a TV of the same brand/size. Went to a second Best Buy and tried to return it. It wasn't completely sealed/closed so they opened it and noticed the serial #s were different. Was told to leave and escorted out by LP.

One of my wife’s wireless headphones broke the other day. I went to Best Buy to buy those same ones, swapped out the broken ones with the new ones and went back and returned them.

reading this in mr dinks voice makes it hilarious

mr dink was always getting stuff that was "very expensive". Didn't his wife become mayor when the show moved to abc. Imagine the political scandal when the town finds out her husband is scamming and stealing from businesses.

Lol yo this dink dude is a scumbag

 

[you go boy]

instead of buying lunch when im at work i eat a turkey sandwich everyday... i got use to it already... it sucks but just trying to save money lol

 

[ahat]

Crazy idea but why dont you just pack something different for lunch?

 

[you go boy]

^ you must of not thought clearly about what i said

Pee in my backyard to save water.

I never been in this thread before just now but searched pee to see if anyone else did this. It’s just every once in a while especially if I’m chillin/blowin in my back patio, I figure save a flush and a trip inside

I gotta say my moms was OD when it comes to saving pennies and nickels, to the point where it got super annoying. One of the things she forced us to do as kids that I never heard of anyone doing was we’d have to catch water from the shower with a bucket until the water got warm . Then use the bucket to either flush toilets or she’d use it for plants/laundry. Always was annoyed by that. Or even just timing our showers back to back with my sister so we didn’t waste water cuz itd be warm already. I would never do that shxt no more but maybe that’s why I piss in the backyard sometimes lol

I was letting son be great. That's what he was thankful for this year.

I wanna say the takeaway was that his job offers free turkey sandwiches, but he didn't specify that.

That's the only way it would make sense to me.

Definitely thought you were about to say you eat other peoples food.

 

[Comparison Ford]

...wait so which is it?

Do you get free turkey sandwiches or do you just keep making turkey sandwiches to your own chagrin?

 

[picasso swerve]

Lol yo this dink dude is a scumbag

I almost choked on my hotdog.

 

[beacon ave south]

Its a simple question. Why cant you switch up your meals and still still stay within budget? Whos making you eat turkey sandwiches everyday?

 

[shogun]

Turkey coldcuts are kinda expensive unless you're buying big packs at costco.

Better off getting that $1 bologna and bread at the dollar tree if you want to save.
