thrift stores are my best friends

I went to a democratic meeting a couple of weeks ago where peeps had to a bring a dish or amke a donations. After the meeting, there was a lady there who put about 80% of the leftover food from the table in a bag she brought with her.
I was shocked that I almost did not see her take the food because she was so fast at transfering the food from the table to her bag.
Now, I understand that there are people out there that aare hungry but this one took the cake and that to me is cheap!
I was just talking about this to my daughter this evening.

that is fairly cheap. if she also squirreled away the silverware and serving dishes - well thats a whole other matter!!

go through the drive thru just for water

reusing dryer sheets and counting the number of squares of toilet paper you can use is pretty bad.(3 for #1, 5squares for #2)

no lilwabbit....you get a courtesy cup of ice and then pour store brand soda into the cup at the counter. Don't drive up...it uses gas

thrift stores are not wheelchair friendly. BUT.. you could use one of the wheelchairs for sale while you are perusing the merchandise

carefully unwrapping gifts to reuse the wrapping paper.

my great grandma really did this

Here are a few more:

using milk crates for packing boxes to move with

using plastic garbage bags to cover yourself in the rain.

my sister reuses ziplocs

raiding someone elses fridge and using their leftovers for dinner. (I must be hungry, I keep coming up with food items)

taking popcorn and soda to the movies

reusing blank return envelopes that are in your bills to pay other bills

taking napkins from fast food places

i take straws and jelly from my job lol

i buy double layered toilet paper and tell my guest to only use one layer at a time

tell other people im out of gas and ride with them

Hmm..guilty of the plastic bag thing. And I reuse my water bottles alot.
I buy my dvds off ebay. As a matter of fact I just bought a new dvd for .99cents and free shipping lol

I'm so cheap...I tell my kids to save the water jugs and refill them and tell my guest that it's store bought water

i'm so cheap that i made this guy pay for our wal-mart pics
kate

I wash styrofoam plates so I can reuse them

Probably go on a romantic dinner at Mcdonalds, thats my fairdinkum response! I don't mind having one of them fat juicy burgers every now and then

I'm so cheap, I won't even pay attention!
