Literally every thing those videos show is fake and made up on the spot for shock value. He literally washes and dries paper towels to reuse them. Like, just get some hand towels. And the first guy also wasted precious tap water to not inly freeze his credit card, but also to thaw it out faster! And spraying coffee on your windows will make them grow mold, havent you seen an old coffee pot left out before?
I would agree it’s fake except my aunt was literally like these people when I lived with her. She literally picked through the garbage if I three something she wanted she hoards napkins would never throw out rotten food. That dude with the grapes at the beginning brough back shitty memories of telling my aunt the strawberries she gave me were literally fermenting and her telling me “they taste fine to me” ugh
"Do you make your own deodorant?" "No." It was at this moment the man contemplates murder, but eventually doesn't because then he'd have to buy a shovel.
"A real cheapskape would make his own coke substitute out of and motor oil and corn starch" and what'd he make the motor oil out of? Ear wax and dandruff?
@@pinecone9619 *I wouldn't give someone a homemade purse made from a gallon milk carton and glue a bdsm chain to it using my own semen and leaving it in the freezer over night to harden. Not only does this purse carry whatever you want to put in it, it also carries Stds.*
@@arabellawallace4355 If you are asian, you doont throw shit just willy nilly. we think about what can that plastic bag, carton, jug be if we kept them.
Saving money makes sense until it costs more of your effort then your time is worth. At that poin't you either are doing it for fun or disabled.... or in my case both :P
I can tell by the look that she's either never going to use it or ita getting thrown away. When you hand make something you have to make sure it goes to someone who actually wants it. I made Christmas ornaments one year but the people I gave them to threw them out because they look like crap compared to the stuff you can buy for $5.
Even better: use the fleshlight first (like you do), then squeeze out whatever's in there onto your sandwich as a mayonnaise substitute. Much more nutritious, too 😋
The first guy, I remember he went to that yogurt stand and asked for free samples of like every flavor then didn’t buy anything. The owner looked so pissed 😡
Nah, these are the types of people that life hack channels WISH they could find. Instead it's just a bunch of suburban clowns trying to imagine being poor.
@Emilia Barzini damn, you're on like every negative comment. The difference is these guys aren't starving. They're doing stuff like driving to a creek for water which I can't imagine being cost effective. He "thinks" he saves $5 a month. At least the first guy made more sense and wasn't creepy
The brick tip is actually good. It does reduce the water used by flushing. Although if your dropping monster turds the full amount is needed to wrestle that bad boy into the stinky abyss
Yeah that's what I always figured with cheap assholes. It's like: the extra capital is out there to be earned, plus you wouldn't have to torture your family.
@Emilia Barzini im just saying that putting a brick in the toilet to save money by adding volume as to not use loads of water IS FUCKING STUPID, if he had more than 5 iq he could adjust it to stop filling the container where he wants it and saved money in not buying the brick
How much they saving in the end? Reusing dental floss, hand made window cleaner, brick etc. We talking what...? maybe a few hundred a year at the most? Be nice if these shows actually added it up but they are only doing this for shock value.The show is probably exaggerated.
@DevilBuster Kaz I had to wash my eyes after seeing these people. I get the brick trick, and I get smuggling food, but reusing floss, eating food from a trashcan, digging into a trashcan to find an empty jug and then make a purse out of it? C'mon.. That's just nasty and disgusting. He could've bought a cheap purse and I know his daughter would've been happy with it. I try to save money too, but I'd never go to such extremes. Next thing you know, he's gonna wipe his ass with bare hands instead with toilet paper. Nasty fuckers..
Sometimes they even go out their way to not "waste" money. I remember this woman who took her teen daughters to Disneyland, it was all kind of ridiculous schemes to save money, all the time inventing how many dollars she was not wasting. The whole time I was thinking: 'You could save all the money, time and dignity that you wasted in this little scheme if you stayed home.' It was not even fun to watch those poor girls being humiliated time after time.
My grandfather tought me the brick in the back of the toilet trick. He grew up in the depression and they were so poor, the most fun thing to do was for him and his siblings to roll an old tire in the yard for fun. Being that poor at such a young age changes you.
I didn't grow up in the depression, but we were always tight on money. Me and my brother played with the old tire too. It's more fun than you'd think 'till it ends up spawning mosquitos.
@@_strayfer_ no I don't think he was correcting spelling I'm pretty sure he was pointing out the irony in having "cheapskates" and "valuable" in the same title
You do realize that thousands of years of human history, countless wars, empires rising and falling - all of this has led us to this exact moment: fucking 3$ saving lifehacks. Fascinating.
The brick toillet thing is a legit thing Tho, Its more recomendable to use clossed watter bottles full of rocks, to avoid dirting your toillet Its usually also recomended for water saving, not just to spend money
But if you have those newer toilet floater systems, then that method is no longer needed, because the new ones have adjustable floaters that can go really low
The wife when the husband has floss for hanging clothes and a brick for the toilet and reuses a bananna 100 times: That's perfect reasonable! The wife when the husband simply brings food to a movie theater like everyone else: I don't like that he does that.
Well yeah. I mean reusing a banana 100 times is reasonable... What's he supposed to do? Waste his own energy on intercourse for her when there's a perfectly good banana laying around?
I remember seeing a video about how a family of four share the same water in their bathtub everyday and I wondered how they could've had cleaner baths for much less water if they used a bucket and a dipper.
Honestly I like to eat chalk, it does wonders for the body and cleans your teeth white in seconds, I also get my chalk from a guy in the alley. Though I will say a couple of police cars have been staking me out, but hey, money's money
Emilia Barzini Oh for sure, I’m sure it’s a mental thing, just saying at that point it’s not saving money. In my line of work (GC) time is money and the time they spend doing these mundane tasks is definitely not worth it. Like that purse the dude made it had to at least take him 30 minutes and at minimum wage he could have made more then enough money to buy the cheapest purse at a thrift shop that well doesn’t look like a 6 year old made it in art class and had enough money to hit up a mcdonalds for lunch off the dollar menu. These are in fact just lazy people or they have severe mental disorders either way I wouldn’t call them cheapskates.
Emilia Barzini not an opinion it’s fact. With 7 billion people on this earth we can not afford to have lazy people around. The government takes money from the working class to give to the lazy people so they can eat. So its not an opinion its 1 of 3 things... A) their lazy and should be pushed into bettering their lives so viewing this as ok behavior isn’t good for anyone. B) They are mentally disturbed and should get help again to better their lives. You saying leave them be is the problem with this world. C) they really are just cheap in which case like I said it’s not worth it at all. Goes hand in hand with the lazy aspect. And work is there for people that want it, true there isn’t enough jobs for the amount of unemployed workers but that includes the mentally challenged, lazy people, illegal criminals, people who think they deserve a handout for whatever reason they want to come up with, the list goes on. Take that out of the equation there are a TON of jobs out there. Take one drive around from shopping center to shopping center wherever you may be from and you will see help wanted signs. Where I live has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country and everyday I see hundreds of signs and ads up. But we also have one of the highest crime rates, welfare rates, and drug usage across the country. Coincidence?? Either these people need help or they need to actually work for a living. But no in true american fashion we reward them with a t.v. show.... yeah leave them be while the rest of the world works their ass off to actually contribute to society.
They're filming in the cinema AND as she's walking out she somehow still has the popcorn... There's fake shows that make you question how much is fake, then there's shows that don't even hide the fact they're fake
The guy with a brick in the toilet took “Brickboys” to the extreme, he was a brickboy in robox and now he’s a brick-Man in real life, he eats bricks, sleeps bricks and most importantly, shits bricks.
It works indeed, though nowadays the newer toilet float systems usually have adjustable floaters that can go really low. Also siphoning thy septic tank regularly reduces the amount of water needed for flushing.
Nobody has pointed out the guy at the very end sacrificed grammar to save on making the shirt that said "your a cheapskate". My man saved money on a letter and a apostrophe.
I have a really hard time going to sleep and I was on the verge of (thankfully) passing out last night but i SWEAR I thought they were eating the bricks in the video
As a plumber, I do not recommend putting a brick in your toilet.. all you have to do to get less water in it is to lower your fill valve. A brick can crack the porcelain.
There’s being cheap and there’s being gross. You can just buy chemicals to mix some cleaning product yourself. I do this for the stuff we use on the floors and counters. About 90% of the bottle is water. Then the chemical stuff. It’s far cheaper than buying a product. I still buy regular all surface pledge for windows and stuff though. There are ways to save money without being gross.
Okay but the brick in the toilet thing is also really good for the environment, and a good way to reduce well water usage during drought. We did this growing up so the well didn’t run dry. It’s not that gross.... not like you drink from the toilet. Grandma used to put a bit of cleaner in there too, really reduces smells without being obvious as it cleans the tubes that feed the bowl.
