Here is the game play, each person tells us what they do to save money.

For instance, I rinse out toilet paper and use it twice....



Yeah we are aiming for a level of frugality that surpasses typical cheapness - I mean frugalness.

I rescue many usable things from the local residential dump.
Particularly hardware
Then I spend hours and hours sorting it into m6 m8 m10 m12, screws get sorted by type and length then other possibly useful things

Nuts... totally nuts

A few things:

I buy new clothes only when my pants (trousers for brits), my underwear (pants for brits) my socks, my t-shirts and my shoes have holes....big holes...

I avoid credit cards...

I buy massive packs of non-perishable goods on sale (like 3x1 5 kg packs od detergent...stuff like that)

Overall...I kinda stay home, don't do anything much and read a lot...that saves a lot of money in a lot of things..

Yeah well I'm so frugal I removed half the light bulbs in my house to save electricity.

Im so frugal i only ever read the front cover of magazines... before im moved on for loitering

[trialbyerror]

I never go to, or hire movies.

I just watch the stories in my head, which I mostly cook up while having my morning shower script on the loo and film on the way to work.....

No seriously, I refuse to pay for the parking at malls

I save water bottles and refill them with my well water.

I wash plastic plates and reuse them and plastic forks and spoons also

I have not bought a new pair of underwear in 2 years. Mine are still going strong

Socks have many holes in them I dont mind

I save pickle jars and use them as cups

[partis]

im so frugal i peel my vegetables before having them weighed

Honey, that's not frugal that's common sense!

Books
Books at the animal shelter charity shop are between 5 and 10C each
I would rather pick up books at the local municipal dumps.

Shopping
I get them to weigh the vegetables before putting them in a plastic bag so that my bag is free. Then to crown it I take 3 plastic bags to so that I can use the inside one to store the vegetables, as the outside one is stuffed up by the sticky bag tie tape thingie
