Poise, your freak flag is flying high and proud tonight! May as well hoist mine too. I am notorious for moving light bulbs from one fixture to another instead of just getting another box of them. When I finally do, it's because the last one blew and I now need like 15 of them. I am in amazement what my house looks like with actual lights that work.

Now that I have your attention......

As I was meticulously washing dishes this evening, it occurred to me that, at a mere 99 cents for
a small bottle of top quality dish soap, I could well afford to buy 5 a day, and still have money to spare!
Of course, I would never need to use 5 a day, and I usually buy no more than 2 a week, but
the point is, even if I had 50 bottles under the sink, why oh why, when the bottle is half empty, do
I automatically unscrew the cap and water it down to extend it's use?

Do any of you have really quirky and unnecessary habits, or am I to suffer being freaky all alone?




I do the same thing when it's down to the bottom. There's a whole "nother" use or two in that bottle. I do that with shampoo and conditioner too. Same thing with laundry soap; when you think the bottle is empty, you can actually put water in it and get another loads worth of soap out of it. And if I use aluminum foil to cover leftovers and it doesn't get dirty, I'll save it and reuse it to line a baking pan when I'm making a chicken or something. I'll reuse plastic bags that dry items came in. Say I bag a few tomatoes at the store...after the tomatoes are used, I save the bag and use it to bag and freeze something. And that's just the beginning. I also cut tubes to get the remainder of the cream or ointment out; there's at least 2-3 more uses in there. I also use old t-shirts for cleaning rags, and the list goes on. I detest wastefulness. It makes me feel gluttonous.

Me too. I don't water things down, but I do try to get every last bit. Here's a strange one: I save too small soap bars in a jar, then melt them down and make new soap. Just you know, because.

That's not weird to me, it's frugal. Frugal is good, as long as you don't take it toooo far.

Status: offline 		Poise, you are not alone. I do that to shampoo bottles at the end. But, but . . . I have an excuse. I had long hair most of my life. When I was young, I had really long hippy hair down to my ass. This photo is from 1995 when I was 40 years old and my hair was medium long.

Anyway, it was Texas, 1971. My dad was rather wealthy. We lived in the middle of nowhere. It was a huge tri-level house with a built in waterfall on a peninsula that stuck out into Lake Dallas. The property had 2 guest houses, stables a dock. I was living the life of Riley. There was plenty to do and it was a 17 year old boy’s dream come true. With all those local cowgirls to court and an endless supply of imported wine, boats, sports cars and horses to entertain us on a date. . . well, it was cause for a lot of primping.

Now you would think a wealthy man could spare his son a fucking bottle of shampoo now and then? But nooooooo. After a few months of washing in well water and using tons of shampoo, my Dad lost his fucking mind. He said I had no respect for the supplies. I shot a jab at him about being cheap and he retorted that it wasn’t the cost, it was the time and effort to fetch the stuff from the store. He then made me do all the shopping for the next 6 months. The nearest store was about 30 miles away.

As you can see, the house and property was decked out to entertain guests and my dad had 2 live in girls to start with. It had been really rather grand when the girls all used to supply the house. But when I got demoted and had to fetch supplies for a up to dozen people staying there… holy shit. A few times I had to go to the store twice in a day. That really cuts into your day! I soon got in the habit of getting every drop out of the shampoo bottle.

Status: offline 		one of my ladies at work is a bugger for watering down the washing up liquid. now i'm all for rincing out jars and such, but watering down the actual liquid makes no sence to me when you then have to use twice as much to get the same results as undiluted.

i do like the tubes flattened from the bottom though, and will squeeze every bit out that i can.

Status: offline 		Definitely not alone here. I was raised to stretch everything until there was no stretching anymore, it carried into my adult life. Which in being a single mom with 3 kids ... the stretching definitely got us through some rough times. Now I see my 3 grown kids doing the very same things .... and it makes me proud. Now for all of us, it's not a matter of have to but a matter of not being wasteful.

Although in reference to Level's comment .... I have instilled in my kids ... one condom ... use and throw away. No rinse and repeat!

Maybe I am freaky after all, because I first read this
as "I throw out penises because they get in the way".

Thank you all for sharing your frugally freaky habits with me.
There were some mentioned here that I didn't dare admit to!

When I buy clothes and they ask me if I want to keep the hanger, I automatically say yes. I don't need the hangers we have ton, but it's so automatic.
