People Spill The Beans On Their Overly Cheap Parents
I am all about saving money but these stories are nuts! A new thread on the anonymous Whisper App has folks sharing the outrageous ways their parents are cheap and wow! Some of these folks are beyond hardcore and frugal.
Now before I bust on these folks, know ahead of time that these tactics and money saving “hacks” weren’t done because the family was poor. These folks are just cheap!
Parent’s cheapskate behavior includes:
- “My mother just got angry with me for using a little extra toilet paper to clear up blood on the floor from my nose bleed. Apparently she has a daily limit of how much toilet paper can be used a day.”
- “My mom was so cheap that she’d pour the rest of the syrup from your plate back into the syrup bottle after you ate.”
- “My mom showed up to my cousin’s wedding in my ill-fitting prom dress and heels from 1988…it was embarrassing and it was all because she didn’t want to spend money on a new dress. SHE HAS MONEY TOO!”
- “My mom is so cheap she won’t turn on the air in the summer. It is 105 degrees outside in Florida. I feel like I am going to faint in my own house.”
- “My mom is so cheap, our entire house is filled with towels she has stolen from the gym.”
- “My mom’s a cheapskate and I hate it. She got a puppy and it has been peeing on the floor however she doesn’t want to waste too many towels so there are puddles all over the place.”
- “My dad used to gather rain water for our baths to save money on the water bill.”
- “My mom used to reuse coffee grounds growing up so now regular coffee tastes so strong to me…makes sense.”
Ok. The puppy one is seriously gross. And NO AIR in the summer?! Oh hell no! I couldn’t deal with all that! Check out some other crazy ways folks stay money. Some of these are shocking! Do you do any of these things?
