Once the pad on the Thermacell turns white, flip it over and it's good to go for another couple hours.

Continue to keep old clothes/shoes and won't throw them out until they are falling apart.
Every old T-shirt, household towel, old cotton socks I have eventually becomes a shop rag.
T-shirts are grease rags, towels are used for washing and drying my vehicles and old socks are used for applying stains on woodworking projects.

I will use my superhuman strength to smash the old tiny bar of soap into the new bar of soap so that no soap is wasted. The result is stronger than most arc welds.

Brand name reusable cups and a dishwasher, you must have never been poor.
But if you open our cabinets we would appear to live on the street. Wal mart dishes from her mom after she died. A hodgepodge of bowls. And plastic cups from every function, restaurant ever attended. Add to that an avalanche of yetis, yeti knock off, Stanley’s. Stanley knock offs. Open at your own risk
Oh, we have full sets of nice shite that I’ve bought and gifted my wife over the years to get her out of this spiral. But nope. That shite is on the top shelf, never touched.

Good morning, Sir!
It is with great pleasure and admiration that I, on behalf of these baws heah', bestow unto you The Home and Garden Board Bronze Medal for your service and dedication to maintenance and frugality. May we all have the same grace and mercy for which you have shown us by your example to be aptly named for such an award.
Amen

Was once considered "poor" but its now considered "genius" but I wear the exact same clothes every day....jeans and a navy blue polo. Not the same ones, that would be nasty as frick, but exact same jeans and shirt. Have been doing it for years. Takes about 10 seconds in the morning, in complete darkness, to "pick" out what I am wearing that day. Same boots. Same belt, Different drawers and socks but they are also the same except drawers are different plaid boxers. I started doing this when I noticed it took my wife about an hour every morning to decide what costume she was going to wear to work and could not repeat them within 90 days. If you work 240 days a year that's 10 days a year of your life spent staring at clothes in a closet. I spend about 3 days a year doing the same thing so I gain a week a year on her LOL.

I do 100% of the maintenance on our home and about 99% of the maintenance on our vehicles. Mainly because I am a cheap bastard but also because I haven't found anyone who would do either for any amount of money any better than I can do it myself. My wife gives me hell about it, especially vehicle maintenance, telling me "you are going to die under a car someday when you could pay someone to do it"....and she has a point. I do use jack stands and what not more than I used to....

When I make burgers at home, I still prefer mine on regular loaf bread. I’ll buy hamburger buns for my family and guests. But I’ll put my burger on loaf bread.
First off just reading "loaf bread" is music to normal people, so thank you.
Loaf bread is the finest hamburger "bun" ever created....especially if its a pan fried rare burger that turns the loaf bread pink....it don't get no better.
Anybody else turn the loaf bread heal crust side in to make a sandwich appear as if it has 2 slices from the middle? I taught my kids that and they do it every time....no more digging past the heel and the next 2-3 slices in our house LOL....

Eat boiled peanuts
Hell that ain't poor that is the epitome of good high living....I moved back to the south in part because folks in less refined parts of the world do not appreciate a properly boiled peanut....the cretins...
If you drew a VENN diagram of the people who either do not eat boiled peanuts or did not know they existed AND people who thought BBQ involved anything other than an intimate relationship between a pig and a hickory tree you'd have a perfect yet singular circle.....

That is very economical. I suggest using condoms from the hooker’s previous Joe to save additional $$.

This is the truth. I keep a bucket on the boat with some kitty litter in it for folks who can't control their bodily functions (my wife and kids) and shite covered in kitty litter never has an odor...piss, on the other hand, stinks to high heaven in about an hour.

1. Re-use aluminum pans
2. Rotate the same five shirts
3. Boycott products because of a $1 price increase
