    I also have never cut a toothpaste open to get the last bit out. We actually always keep the mini packages we get from the dentist for hard times :lol:

    Lol, I do that too. My emergency toothpaste stash. :lol:

    we just received a christmas present shipped "media mail." not one damn thing in the box qualified as "media" but I say way to go.

    those post office receipts are super long, as well.

    It never fucking ends.
    I swear to GOD it never fucking ends.

    Some people are just so fucking CHEAP, and PATHETIC at the same time.

    Grow up and act like a fucking adult.

    See I keep thinking this thread is here to question whether Rob's yogurt "shelf life" is just cheap or whether he is being frugal.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Ok. I'm frugal...not cheap. Total couponer! I have to work at it and when I don't I notice my grocery bills are way higher. Example today I picked up my summer stash of sun lotion. Total retail was 58.95 but I paid 17.50. Not bad I don't think. 40 plus bucks for something else.
