I'm so frugal I shower with my clothes on, thus washing both body and clothes at the same time.

I'm so frugal I can get out of work at 6 and still wait till 7:30 for the free transport the college has for academic and administrative staff...

I'm so frugal that I don't wash my dishes and I don't brush my teeth, finally by collecting few rests, I have a free meal every single month.

I am so frugal that I reuse my water.

I'm so frugal I use toilet paper to hold the grounds for coffee, then later in the day use the same toilet paper for my toilet - if you know what I mean....

I buy two ply toilet paper, on sale and with a coupon, and then separate the plys's so I get twice as much toilet paper.
I only eat at restaurants if I have a coupon that saves me more than 25%.
I buy the "half off" damaged canned goods, with a coupon on top of that.
During the winter, I only turn on the heat, if it gets below 40 degrees.
During the summer, I turn on the a/c only if it gets above 75 degrees inside.
I pretty much HAVE to be frugal, because I have no choice....and definitely no money.

I shop at the muncipal dumps for all sorts of things like brooms, flower pots, shadenetting, hardware, camping things.
Many times over I re-sell fishing and camping gear at a good profit.
It's truly amazing what people turf out. I call the various sites "The make your own price stores", as often the attendants are too drunk to care.
My latest find was 15 brand new, camping gaz canisters the detachable ones.
Paid R2 each. Shop price R78.95 ea
