Last night, for the first time, I watched this show.
Roband I are frugal, but we were disgusted by most of this show.
There is something wrong with these people mentally, or it is exaggerated for ratings..probably a combination.
Taking your spouse out to the restaurant and then hassling the other patrons for their leftovers is wrong. After other patrons have left a bunch of food on the table, and you want to take it home ...as pet food food..possibly. This man was consuming it.
Finding enough change ($7.50) and then going to the butcher and requesting something frugal for the anniversary meal for him and his wife. He buys two goat heads with their teeth and eyeballs still in it, is not frugal.Disgusting !
There were a ton of other choices he could have made, that his wife would have enjoyed.
Going to a doughnut shop and reciting a poem for a free pastry is just odd. No one cares, especially the cashier. They just want to get rid of you.
He then goes to a barbershop and works cleaning andsweeping in exchange for a haircut. That may be reasonable. The owner said he welcome back. (My own hairdresser barters all the time with some of her clients..no, not me)
A man states he bought a shirt for $8, wore it for years. It got an ink stain, and so he donated it to a goodwill. Then he purchased it back, after they cleaned the ink out, for a dollar. That just doesn't happen.They would have tossed it into a rag bucket. (by the way, hairspray does remove ink..my son's pen leaked in his brand new pants I just bought him..when he was a child)
Going to a fast food place and requesting ketchup packets, and then squeezing the contents into his bottle at home. That to me is similar to stealing.
Here is frugal.(our day today)
We go to Ikea for lunch.We like going there.We have a card and that makes our tea/ coffee free.Lunch was $5.05 for chicken nuggets and fries, and 2 cinnamon buns.We allowed the people in front of us to use Rob's coffee card (that might not be ethical..but then we told them how to get their own card)
I have been trying for weeks to find another pair of sandals.They need to be comfortable, not thongs, and waterproof. I am giving up, at least until we get to the store in Tennant Creek, NT where I bought these ones, 2 years ago. Instead I bought some velcro, and will do a temp repair. cost $1.49
Went to the grocery store. Cooked chickens are on sale for $8. We get one.
Then we look at the reduced food. We could get a reduced splayed or organic one, but instead opt for an uncooked basic plain chook, at regular price..which was cheaper...cost $7.21 (it's for the freezer)
Not everything we buy is reduced.
