SUnday morning rant
Had a relaxed
SAturday evening. While the Mrs sewed I watched some TLC shows online.
Extreme Cheapskates and Extreme Couponing. DO we do anything in
moderation anymore. cmon.. buying 100 bottles of aspirin, 54 bottles of
Laundry soap, 60 bags of croutons etc while the daughter has 300 bottles of her favorite soda in
the closet. My god. ON the other end this woman hasnt done laundry in 3
years. Washes clothes and stuff in the shower. Another guy reuses paper towels and
buys double ply tp so he can make 2 rolls out of one.. Oy yeah and 200
boxes of cereal is real yumyum food. WHat has become of moderation?
I understand the art of and logicality of frugality and dumpster diving but excess is excess. Growing your own and buying in bulk has always been a mainstay at the 'stead but these people are carrying it a bit too far. Even Trash has limits.
You echo my thoughts on this exactly. A fanatic is a fanatic and it doesn't much matter what he is fanatical about.
