I'm one of the cheapest, most frugal people there is...but wow.

not-so-CSB:
The best household money-saving tip I've come across is to actually plan your week's meals in advance, and buy only what you plan on eating (including leftovers for lunch). It saves on impulse purchases and cuts down on stuff going bad in the fridge.

I don't understand why washing oneself after using the bathroom instead of wiping with paper is such a weird concept to Americans. Billions of people around the world use water instead of paper. However, this woman is disgusting for showing her act on tape and going into detail using such language like "taking a dump". She could have just discussed it in a much more sophisticated way. Also saving six dollars over not doing laundry is utterly retarded.

Oh, and hand washing your clothes is still doing laundry.

AbbeySomeone: I pride myself on being thrifty but there are some things that you should not skimp on. This woman is disgusting and the fact that she is on camera demonstrating her toilet habits just puts it over the top.
Crist people, have some dignity.

Wiping your ass with paper instead of washing with water is disgusting when you think about it.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I don't think the problem is necessarily that she doesn't use toilet paper. There are plenty of cultures that wash after using the toilet, as crazy as that sounds to Americans.

Rather, I think the problem here is that she has no class, as evidenced not only by her actions but also by her use of language. "After I take a dump" is something I'd expect a punk teenager to say, not a grown woman. She is the lowest of the low and disgusting.

And to what end is she skimping to this degree? This seems self-imposed rather than a problem of income. At the end of the month, what is that 6 dollars she's saved going to do for her? Somehow she's gone off the rails and needs some serious help.

Liz Lemon: Let's introduce her to the woman that drinks her own urine!

NIXON YOU DOLT!!!!!: So everybody should just shiat first thing in the morning and then hop in the shower?

You could. There's also the standalone bidet, the Japanese-style washlet magic, the old standby lota/dipper/water bottle, or what is now getting to be the most common option (commonly used from Bangkok to Helsinki to Rio de Janeiro)... the bum gun:

Besides the obvious India and China, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are in the top ten largest countries on Earth. I'm going to suggest that well over half of people use water and their left hand, not TP, and the ratio is probably closer to 3:1.

That's because it works. I've been on the underwear line of an institutional laundry. People:

Agreed that 'dump' is a classless term. That said I took an assignment where I could work from home most days, then jokingly told the guys in the office they'd still see me everyday when I came in to take dump because it would save me on toilet paper.

In all seriousness though, how much time does it take to her to save $6 a month. 5 minutes per day to wash clothes in the shower x 30 days is 2.5 hours a month for $6. That time would be better spent calling up and fighting your cable/internet/phone bill monthly it would take less time and save more. Or get a second job on the weekend.

Is that soap free? Because toilet paper is so relatively cheap that unless you are using free soap, you're probably coming out about even.

She is sick. These cable channels are milking these mentally ill people for all they are worth.
