Cheapest guy in America...

Who saw the 20/20 on this guy?

Video on here:

Some highlights:

Lisa and I had been living together for a number of years. Then I found out I needed some dental surgery and being a practical guy, I proposed so I could be covered under [lisa's] policy," he said.

AND NOW IT GETS WEIRD

"The entire wedding cost $70. We stopped by McDonald's on the way home. The neighbors threw rice. So, naturally I swept it up and cooked it for dinner."

"He did bring me a nice bouquet of roses. I found out he got them from a funeral home after they were discarded!"

"He sees that there's a leftover at somebody else's table he'll ask and want to take that food home,"

He rips two-ply toilet paper in half in order to get more use. And he not only reuses his paper towels more than once, he also washes them clean after use and hangs them on the clothing line to dry.

I want to go over to his house and leave on all the lights.

Wow, that's a bit too much. Conservation is great and all that, but conserving something like toliet paper to that extreme is just too far.

And the roses? ....Wow.

I am cheap about alot of things... that is extreme. I bargain when I can and shop around for good deals. Eating others leftovers is just gross.

Best quote in the video

"I started with nothing and I have most of it left"

Classic

I'll admit to being a poor college/high school student and dining on the busboy buffet once in a while...somebody orders a 12 oz. steak and only has 2 bites...sheeeeeeeeit, cut in a quarter inch from their cut, discard the small bit and enjoy 9 ounces of prime beef for free!

A desperate busboy can eat a lot of discarded food in a career.

My wife is the frugal champ...she does these coupon tricks at Walgreens and shops the sales and gets these "Extra Care Bucks" and gets tons of stuff for free...

This week she got 2 rolls of Reynolds Wrap Aluminum foil, 4 big bottles of gatorade, 2 six-packs of gatorade, 3 bottles of Robitussin, 4 boxes of Puffs kleenex, 4 2-liters of Sierra Mist, 4 rolls of Christmas ribbon, 12 rolls of Charmin Toilet Paper and a 100-pack of Glad Force-Flex trash bags for NINE DOLLARS. It's insane.

Coupons are like a sport for moms, I swear...

Indeed! My wife is so proud, and rightfully so, when she comes home with tons of stuff purchased at a quarter of the cost. I'm usually to lazy, unless it's something electronic and then I'll tweak out looking for a good deal...
