I still waste money though :P

I just spent like 20 minutes trying to find a gif/clip of Francine's mother (from American Dad) saying "wasteful!"

came up with nothing.

So, that was a waste of time?

Oooohh snap!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

yeah it was, actually.

Not only do I do pretty much all of the frugal things listed in the op, I'm so obsessive about recycling that i don't even pay for trash pickup. I literally produce 1 grocery sack(or less) of actual trash a month(which i throw in with my aunts trash). Everything else gets recycled, reused, or composted for my garden, and I preserve everything from it that I don't eat fresh. Nothing bugs me more than to see something useable\recyclable get carted off to the landfill,

You mean you don't pocket mulch? :D :rofl:

I use everything until I can't anymore. My shoes are currently held together with duct tape.

I have socks that have massive holes in them just because I'm too cheap to buy new ones. I usually wear my shoes til the soles are falling off or they've got so many holes that all I have to do is step in a tiny little puddle and I've got damp feet all day.

I have a lot of clothes that I've had for almost 10 years, and I never buy new clothes (I work in a thrift store, and our things are nice - throw them in the wash and they're good as new!) because:

1 - they're ridiculously expensive.
2 - women's clothes are shittily made. I've had hoodies made out of goddamn t-shirt material (at twice the price of thrift!). :mad:

I don't cut my hair, I don't get my nails done, and I only buy new cosmetics when I'm absolutely out and desperate. People spend way too much money on shit they don't need.

This thread is descending into who is the most thrifty person.

If there are holes in my socks. I throw them away. I don't let my shoes get so bad that they have holes in them before getting new pairs.

During the wet season, when I had to walk everywhere I finally bit and bought a new pair of shoes (though seeing that I get a 50% discount at work and a lot of what we get in is like-new, I can see myself acquiring more eventually) but man, shit's expensive these days. Especially textiles. What the hell happened?
