Cheapskate

Rumpshaker

My junior kat office cerita masa dia belajar dulu pernah berdating dengan jantan kedekut gila. Jantan bedebah ni selalu bawa duit 20 sen je -untuk call my friend kalau ada emergency i.e lambat datang.
Alhamdulillah, kawan-kawan dia berjaya menyelamatkan beliau dari terus terjebak.

iols ada sedara cheapskate cenggini. Tapi sheols ni dah level nenek2 dah.. selalu call mak iols nak bagitau yg dia takde duit sangat.. harga barang makin mahal la.. bla.. bla.. bla.. tup2 tengok 2-3bulan lepas tu, boleh pulak cuti overseas.

kalau nak pergi rumah sheols kena call dulu, lepas tu bagi alasan xde kat rumah la, ade hal la. Kalau sheols ajak dtg rumah pun, tak hidang apa2. Borak2 je la. Harap guests yang bawakkan buah tangan.

Time hari raya kan biasanya memang sheols ziarah hari raya ke-2 or ke3. Sebab sheols memang tak bagi angpaw raya kat budak2 & kalau sheols balik raya pertama nanti takut budak2 mintak angpaw kat sheols.

Dan disebabkan terlalu fikirkan pasal duit je, sheols selalu mengadu tekanan darah tinggi asyik naik je.

Dalam hidup ni tak payahla nak cheapskate & berkira sangat especially kat bebudak. Makin banyak kita bersedekah, or spend our money for a good cause, hidup makin senang, hati pun tenang.

To me  chepskate ni ialah org yg obsses nk kumpul duit & suka tengok jumlah duit terkumpul bertambah ...

Second that. Bagi i orang yang berjimat ni masih lagi spend duit dia untuk beli apa2 yang dia nak, tapi mungkin dia beli yang perlu je and tak beli benda yang merapu2. Ada lebihan duit, dia akan buat simpanan.

Yang kedekut ni most of the time pandai gunakan helah taknak spend duit dia, kadang2 orang sekeliling dia pulak yg serba salah & sakit hati dek perangai cheapskate dia tu. Siapa yg ada kawan & relatives yg kedekut ni kena ada tahap kesabaran yg tinggi ya.

10 Shockingly Stupid “Money-Saving” Moments From TLC’s Extreme Cheapskates

If you thought being cheap means always leaving a small tip orstealing packets of ketchup, you aren't familiar with theextremelycheap.

Extreme Cheapskates, one of TLC's questionable “reality” shows, features penny pinchers who will amaze (and even disgust) you with how far they'll go to save a few bucks.

Here are 10 money saving ideas fromExtreme Cheapskatesthat I bet (and hope) you don't try.

1. Drying and reusing paper towels

With great spills come great opportunity – to reuse paper towels, that is. Who said they were meant to be used just once?




Trash to most. Money wasted to cheapskates.

The extremely cheap can use their paper towels, wash them, then hang them to before using them again, justlike Roy Haynes doeson the show!

2. Living without toilet paper

Forget about separating two-ply — just stop using toilet paper altogether!

Kay Hashimoto, who was featured on the show andinterviewed by The Daily Mail, has sworn off buying toilet paper. Instead, she's substituted soap, water and, errr, her hands. If that makes you queasy, her actual quote from the show is too gross to publish here.




And her savings for all of this trouble/grossness? Drumroll…$6 per month!

3. Collecting your own drinking water

We've all heard about the high cost of bottled water, but tap water costs too much now? For those that don't want to pay $0.001 per gallon from the tap, there's another option: Collect your own drinking water.




Free water tastes even better when you know how many pennies you're actually saving

4. Covering yourself in cornstarch to beat the heat

I'm not sure how or if this absurd idea even works. But for Ben (mentioned above), who lives in Austin, Texas without air conditioning, anything as crazy as putting cornstarch on your skin is worth a try to beat the sweltering 100+ degree heat.

No word on if he cooks with it after wearing it

Sure, A/C is expensive, but can't he get by with an electric fan?

5. Eating left-behind food at restaurants

I rarely waste food, but I'd never touch diner's plate. ForCheapskateRoy (from above), it's an opportunity to save a few bucks. He's not shy about dining off abandoned food from a nearby restaurant table.

Keep an eye on your food if you're seated near a cheapskate.

6. Serving roadkill to dinner guests

If you won't touch food left behind by nearby diners, how about snacking on a fresh kill by a fellow driver?

Extreme Cheapskates Vickie and Johngo out with their kids in search of a deliciously-free meal that doesn't even require a trip to the store. After passing on a little-too-rotted corpse of a fox, they settled on a rabbit they found down the street.

This roadkill pineapple would've gone nicely with the rabbit

But don't think they'd be so greedy to keep it all to themselves. They invited over a few friends to feast on their road kill rabbit meal.

7. Asking for a dozen free samples, then not buying anything

We've all tried an ice cream sample or two before picking the best flavor to indulge in an entire cone's worth. But if you don't care about enjoying a whole scoop (and drawing the ire of a local business owner), just go for a dozen or so samples and then buy nothing like Roy does on the show.

Free samples = free dinner

For extra effect, tell your wife it's a date and let her suffer the embarrassment (yup, he did that, too).

8. Driving a “car” (or what remains of one)

I'm on board with keeping things frugal by driving used car that's seen more than it's fair share of miles and may have lost a bit of it's glimmer along the way. But you've got to draw the line somewhere. That is, unless you're Ben, who takes “clunker” to a whole new level with his ride.

You couldn't pay me to get inside this car

9. Unpluggingeverythingwhen you leave the house

Phantom energy wasters like TVs, stereos, and cell phone charges suck up power when you're not using them. While I'll even admit to unplugging some of my devices when I leave the house, I can't imagine unpluggingeverythingin your house every time I leave.

That's whatExtreme CheapskateVictoria does on the show, leaving literally no appliance untouched.

A cheapskate's nightmare

10. Flushing only once a week

Not to be outdone by the toilet paper saver mentioned above, another cheapskate (Greg) start puts the “It's it's yellow, let it mellow” rule to shame. No matter what it is,Greg lets it goa full week before flushing.




Oh, and when he does finally flush, it's using shower water collected in a bucket.

Kalo yg jenis ni mcm mana? Dia memang berkira nak membeli atau makan. Kalau orang lain berderet koleksi kasut ngn handbag, tapi dia cuma ada 2@3 je..

Tp 2@3 tu menyamai atau lebih nilainya nak bandingkan dgn koleksi berderet kawannya tu. Jenis yg suka barang branded. Berkira sgt dgn belanja lain tp sekali dia dh suka dgn brg tu, mmg tak pandang kiri kanan dah. 2@3 barang nya tu memang semua branded. Quality over quantity konsepnya..gitu..

I kekadang cheapskate.
Beli barang kalau yg boleh dapat murah, i beli je yg murah. Asalkan good quality, ok je. Tapi I am willing to spend more on my family and friends.. terutama kalau birthday presents atau just suka2 kasi presents. I just want the best for my family and friends.. ala kadar for me is ok.. hah gitu.

Ipo

saya ni pun jenis cheapskate jugakkalau belanja untuk diri sendiri, berkira sangat..beli yang harga murah

kadang2 tak beli pun, pakai mana yang ada sampai lunyai
kalau nak belikan atau hadiahkan kepada famili/orang lain, cari yang mahal dan berkualiti

AlterEgo

so far belum ada encounter orang sekeliling yang cheapskate. tapi pernah diceritakan tentang this parents sangat cheapskate/ bakhil yang amat.. ada banyak duit/savings.. tapi tak nak spend & anak-anak nampak tak terurus.. but prioritize study dorang.. so macam, 50-50

"Being cheap is not always smart.  There's a fine line between being conscious of how and what you spend and adopting a cheapskate attitude."
