Cheapskate's Family Enjoys Their Pricey Payback | Extreme Cheapskates

Subscribe to TLC Australia for more great clips: bit.ly/TLCAustralia
Sarah, 23, is a baker and an extreme cheapskate. Her quirky money saving methods make her to put coffee in her hair and she is also extremely proud of her “Poo-Mix”. Her cheapness doesn't just touch her - she lives at her grandma’s place for free and gives out free perfume samples as Christmas presents. Sarah’s family has had enough of her cheap ways - as a shock treatment they are organising an expensive surprise for her.

[@stephaniederosa7761]

So she lives in her family's house rent free and has a problem buying dinner for them one time. Not ok.

[@stephaniederosa7761]

@Zoe doesn't matter, 1. She didn't eat because she didn't want to spend money because she's cheap. And 2. You can buy dinner for your family even if you don't eat. Especially if you live rent free in their house.

[@Havis_Princess]

They didn't charge her rent for one. For two they didn't tell her until last minute, what if she didn't bring enough money. Third you saw what she ordered for herself, you really think she was ready to pay for everyone else

[@JaneDoe-xg4ln]

I think the problem was that her family pushed the bill onto her last minute. Yes she should pay for things and contribute to the household, but the way that she was surprised wasn’t nice.

[@jacksonrelaxin3425]

Shampoo and other soaps also don’t even last as long when you do that. The entire purpose is too use a little bit and let the water suds it. When you wash it down, it’s already dissolved so it basically rinses at the same time. Cheap people always end up paying more in the end.

[@losopalos9943]

@@artistrilysis yea, I guess her thinking is it’s used coffee grounds you’d otherwise throw away? But in the US you can get a bottle of conditioner for $1 and it takes one blorp to condition your hair. Plus it actually moisturizes… as opposed to coffee grounds which will both scrape up your hair with their abrasiveness and dry it out with their acids and tannins. Like, the juice at the bottom of the garbage can is free but using it as soap won’t save you soap money!
