George!!! My 4 year old son is a huge fan!! 😄. When I ask him what does he wants to listen to on the radio, he says George from the Ramsey show. He enjoys your content!!
on the cups thing: we actually save glass jars from certain kinds of items like small olive jars and alfredo sauces. They are much better than yogurt cups and still pretty cheap. We have also used egg cartons and restaurant take home containers for seed starting plants in our garden rather than using just the trays.
I LOVED 'Extreme Cheapskates' and 'Extreme Couponers'! I don't care if it's all real or not, there were some good tips you could take from their frugal ways but there were also people who desperately needed prayer! Xx
Got news for the guy keeping labels on his clothes. The store will NOT take the clothes back after their return period. You can't keep a tee shirt for a year and then take it back.
I know, the ice cream place should have had a sign on their window that there is a limit of two samples per customer. After that, they are 75 cents each.
Yeah, really weird things with a lot of setup for tv cameras. George and Rachel's Savvy or Sketchy - Smart Money Happy Hour from March has more realistic money hacks.
This video...what George said! These people are either issuing a cry for help or for attention. BTW the dumbest thing I ever heard was a nationwide contest for the cheapest person. The winner was someone who separated 2 ply toilet paper into one ply. Seriously, does anyone use just 1 sheet of single ply toilet paper.
I dump all my change at the self checkout at the grocery store then pay the rest with a debit card. I dont normally let all my change collect that much to take that much time.
Totally agree with saving coins. A good way to spend less if you are putting them in a tin where you can bank it when its full. A great way to save but not what that guy did.
What bothers me most is that they don't seem to save FOR anything. Only one instance did I see a couple mention they bought a house from the saving. The rest seem to save just because they enjoy living like that. (I assume)
My credit union has a coin machine for members (no rolling necessary) that counts your change and gives you a receipt. Take the receipt to the teller and they enter it as a deposit to your account. You can then get paper bills if you want the cash right away. Much better than being a jackass at a restaurant.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I absolutely lost it on the guy paying 90ish dollars in change. I purchased a bike when i was a kid with mostly pennies and nichols. 😂😂😂 Its how i know how bad this really is.
Another Great Video George ❤❤❤❤ Please react to more Video like this… Just like you, my jaw Dropped at some of their money saving hack behaviors 😨😨😨 Very entertaining video.
Respect George for having Def Leppard's On through the Night album in the background. PS: the song "On through the night" is not on this album but their next and their best album EVER High n Dry. @GeorgeKamel
When I used to work in fast food restaurants you see all this. There's a guy who buys a hot dog at Costco eats it, then goes to the cashier and says he dropped it to get another one free it's $1.50 w a drink
Like most reality shows, this one is heavily scripted, with professionals penning the dialogue. Roughly 20 years ago, production companies began moving away from unscripted reality shows as they were simply too uninteresting. I had an extensive conversation with a staff member of "The Bachelorette", and it seems that this show closely resembles a soap opera in its format. Participants receive a script and film scenes multiple times until they get them right. They don't even shoot the scenes in chronological order. There's strong evidence suggesting that "Extreme Cheapskates" employs a similar approach. Audiences do not really want authenticity, they just want entertainment.
😂😂😂😂 I watched this show when it was on. Recently, it was on TH-cam. These people are over the top. You should do a show on the dumpster diver, yummy cuisine 😅
Hey gorgeous George! I got a question. What should the process be when I ask myself if I can “afford it ” I am wanting to get my family a new dryer (old ones been broken for a while) ,and sure I have the money, but what should my price range be? And should I even be getting this or have my parents face the decision they have made. I feel like that might be harsh but they have and continue to make bad financial decisions. Would love some feedback! Thanks!
If you’re in BS4+, and you’re paying cash, get the dryer you want. If it feels unreasonable, tone it down. I usually just look at reviews on Wirecutter, Home Depot, and Lowe’s and get something reasonable. I don’t do fancy tech dyers.
Depends. Lots of stuff you see here is from Bonobos. Occasionally J. Crew, Express, or Levi’s. Maybe a few shirts from TJ Maxx thrown in for good measure.
`the coin thing was dumb, but on the other hand small businesses in the netherlands welcome you if you want to trade small coins for bills, it saves them money, because if they want coins for change from the bank they have to pay a fee, they have to buy those coins.
@@kaelaleedaley According to the Energy Saving Trust, hand-washing dishes accounts for 4% of the average household’s water use - whereas dishwashers make up just 1%. In the past, dishwashers might have consumed 10 to 15 gallons of water per cycle. Modern dishwashers, on the other hand, are designed with water efficiency in mind. In fact, the Department of Energy mandates that full-sized dishwashers can use a maximum of 5 gallons of water per cycle. Energy Star-rated appliances require even lower water usage, at 3.5 gallons per cycle. According to a study conducted by the University of Bonn in Germany, washing a full load of dishes by hand uses an average of more than 26 gallons of water. The study also found that handwashing techniques vary widely, with some people using just 8.7 gallons for the task and others using 116!
@@Lifecounselor710 That sounds mental to me! In the UK it's most common to use half a bowl of warm soapy water to wash up in, maximum about 4 ltrs! I have known people to use more but that's considered "posh" as the hot water costs too much! I read in a Which? Study about a month ago that an eco setting on a standard UK dishwasher uses just over 4 ltrs, plus electricity (which is ridiculously priced over here!), plus salt, rinse aid and dishwasher tablets, plus initial appliance cost, installation and maintenance/repair costs. Washing by hand in half a bowl of warm water with a small squirt of watered down washing up liquid (we dilute ours by 50%), with a handmade dishcloth, water warmed on a gas stove is significantly cheaper xx
I can do better than this guy. Example, dumpster diving for free groceries. You ask grocery stores when they throw out their food and get them free. I also shut off the electricity on the front side of my house to save on electricity, unplug all sockets, and take out bulb inside the refrigerator. That's totally valid. You don't need a bulb in your refrigerator. Also cook with propane gas $20 refill lasts 4-6 months. No cooking on cooktop. Brilliant!!
To the “yogurt cup guy”, come on man, just use Classico Alfredo sauce jars like a normal person.
Not only are some of these tactics disgusting, they are downright dangerous and unhealthy.

Literally laughed out loud over the bulb and fridge comment 😂 that was funny😂
How are you so frugal that youd steal sauces from a restaurant, but still go to restaurants in the first place
I also think this is the impression people get when they tell you they don’t want to do the Dave Ramsey baby steps.
Being a cheapskate is okay if you're just denying yourself stuff, it's not okay when you're denying other people their stuff.
I laughed out loud that in the shower the first guy had a plastic bag around his clothing tag so it wouldn't get wet.
I’m so glad you pointed that out, I had been wondering how he kept the tag from getting wet and didn’t notice that 😂
Got news for the guy keeping labels on his clothes. The store will NOT take the clothes back after their return period. You can't keep a tee shirt for a year and then take it back.
There’s a difference between being frugal and stealing.
I know, the ice cream place should have had a sign on their window that there is a limit of two samples per customer. After that, they are 75 cents each.
That its crazy. Never heard of this TV show until now😂
I think most of the show was fake. If I remember correctly Jordan Page was on there and she said they had her do ridiculous things just for the views.
Yes! She said that. So weird lol
Yeah, really weird things with a lot of setup for tv cameras. George and Rachel's Savvy or Sketchy - Smart Money Happy Hour from March has more realistic money hacks.
I remember her saying that also.
I knew it was all fake when a cheapskate used a hot tub to do laundry. Those cost a lot to run

5:23... I don't condone violence... But, I would punch this dude in the back of the head if I EVER saw that... NOPE!
George this episode has my knees weak!!!😂😂😂😂😂
dude had a ziploc bag on the tag while he was in the shower 5:18
These are insane! Yet a mix of funny and sad. Hope to see more reaction videos to these.
A fridge is not a need it’s a luxury! Mind you yes 400 years ago no fridge and they lived ok lol😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅
The shower thing, get me a bag. NOW!!!
I dump all my change at the self checkout at the grocery store then pay the rest with a debit card. I dont normally let all my change collect that much to take that much time.
Thank you so much George for the Video, it had me cracking up at 8 am in the morning. You are funny and great at these videos, keep it up! 🎉

Oh, the first guy is the final boss of trolls 😂
I literally vomited at toilet flushed once a week. I really did!!
I have seen these before - hilarious. One of these is a guy using his used bath water for cooking and drinking. 😅😅😅
3:53 He definitely thinks the bulb is on 24x7 🤣
6:00 George the roommates are running like gazelles to save hahah
I love your honesty and keeping it real. 💯 I love your channel
I love you George! I met you in Sacramento, CA last year and I'm glad you have your own show now :)
The second guy you can tell really lives that way
You can get great quality glasses to drink out of at Dollar Tree for $1.25. This guy is nuts!
Plenty of decent dishes and glassware at thrift stores. Got a nice set of glasses for 75 cents each.
What bothers me most is that they don't seem to save FOR anything. Only one instance did I see a couple mention they bought a house from the saving. The rest seem to save just because they enjoy living like that. (I assume)
That’s a great point. You hardly see them living such way with an end goal in mind…
We need you to do this again, that was awesome!
George, I am so glad you made this video my friend 😂 this made my day!
that dood at the ice cream stand reminds me of elder folk at costco on a sunday with the samples

The commentary is hilarious! 🤣
Not the ZooPals!!
🤢 - the first dude ... not frugral NASTY! that toilet? nasty
The bank will give you cash for your coins without the fees the Coin Star takes.
Thank you for this satire.
Bro this is savage but LOL for real

With the first and last guy, the cost of future health issues will outweigh the savings.
One day when his friends see this video or see that episode their friendship will end lol
Yooooo when this got to the toilet thing, my mouth dropped lol. What the…
When I used to work in fast food restaurants you see all this.
There's a guy who buys a hot dog at Costco eats it, then goes to the cashier and says he dropped it to get another one free it's $1.50 w a drink
I’m convinced that people who live like that have trauma or some kind of mental health disorder.
love that you take the shorts version but do it mini form.
Please do more of these hahaha
If $40/ yr makes or breaks you, you got bigger problems
When will the Ramsey Company create a streaming platform like disney+ so we can see the first GK movie on finance?

Nice music! Sounds like Miami nights 1984
Not gonna lie this show was hilarious! but some of the tips they used were interesting 🤔 lol
More! 👏🏻 ❤
Living in survival mode has to put stress on this guy 😢
Those are so staged. The ice cream truck had a camera😂
So many of these tactics are theft in my opinion. Shame on them!
These people are Dave Ramsey spirit animals incarnate! 😂
I’m surprised he pays for Zumba. This has to be a joke lol
those "samples" were too generous. a little spoon is a sample.
Yes! 😂 I like these react videos
5:24 nine of these cheapskates are even millionaires 😂
Reba McEntire reuses red solo cups.
😂😂😂😂 I watched this show when it was on. Recently, it was on TH-cam. These people are over the top. You should do a show on the dumpster diver, yummy cuisine 😅
That one just brought me here! 🤢
Some of this is stupid ridiculous and gotta be fake!
That cannot be real 😂🤣😂
I really want to believe Greg is trolling on a very massive scale and actually doesn't do any of that.
Condo screams estate sale or donate to charity, etc.
Showering with clothes. Saves time dressing. Time is money. Bingo
Like this can't be real
I'm 100% sure ppl come up with these ideas just to make the show

But the real question is does it work? Are these people rich….?
Haha 😢 so good
Did anyone catch the Direct Tv logo on the plastic of the coins saved? Just don't eat out or have satelilite. 😐
Karma gets you in the end.
Do a show of how people survived the Great Depression.
There's no way a frig bulb costs $40/year.
That’s a mental health issue for real
George where do you get your clothes from
Depends. Lots of stuff you see here is from Bonobos. Occasionally J. Crew, Express, or Levi’s. Maybe a few shirts from TJ Maxx thrown in for good measure.
Just buy regular cups that you keep in your cabinet and reuse wtf omg…
My wife said "Just give me your paycheck and I will not touch you ever." What a cheapskate!

I appreciate the effort… but yeah this is way too far to save some money. Use that extra effort to get a second job
Yeah, I think these shows are stage, but not my man Mr. Incredible. He's the real deal.
😂😂😂😂😂
Greg needs a visit from a psychologist
Lmao 😂
This has to be fake 🤣🤣🤣
The dishwasher costing more money is a myth
