United States: The crazy lengths people will go to in order to save money, chronicled in Extreme Cheapskates
WHAT would you do to save a few bucks? Maybe you’d take your own lunch to work instead of buying it, or walk places rather than drive.
What about peeing in a bottle to avoid flushing the toilet, therefore saving a few cents? That’s just one of the crazy measures taken by a next-level penny pincher.Extreme Cheapskates is an eye-opening reality show from the United States that airs on Foxtel and chronicles the lives of people who are obsessed about saving money.
Here are just a few of the more bizarre examples.
PEEING IN A BOTTLE
Victoria Hunt is very conscious of her water usage, but not because she’s an environment-loving conservation. She’s all about saving a few bucks.
For a grand saving of $10 per month on her water bill, Hunt pees in a bottle. Yep. Instead of flushing her number ones, she stores them in a container next to her loo.
Then, once or twice a week, she empties the waste into her compost heap.
In a further effort to save cash, she only showers at the gym where she works out most days.
