Hey!!!! I use Mint. Thanks so much for your content. No matter what I watch your videos. Do you really only save $.01 for not flushing? Would seem like more. I've seen people fill a water bottle with rocks, close it and put it in the tank. When you turn off your gas do you have to re-light the pilot light? Also for the dishwasher I put the detergent in it and close he door. If the door is closed then I know they're dirty because once they're washed the door opens :)
Filing the toilet with a bottle of rocks will reduce the capacity and flushing power. So if you have an extra toilet, use just that for #1. Yes, you have to relight the pilot sometimes but mine can be lit electronically with a button.
743 gallons per unit costs about $4 additional on your water bill. That's about $0.005 per gallon. A typical toilet flush is 1-3 gallons depending on your toilet. So about 1-3 cents each flush.
@@BeatTheBush 1000 gallons where I live is $8 and some change. We also have a mandatory $86 a month water/sewer base fee with water cost on top. We flush only twice a day on average.
I cut the sponges in half and when they get too worn out for dishes, they become reused for cleaning pet kennels. I love the whole connection between reusing/recycling something, helping the environment, saving money and keeping less clutter in the house. An all around win. 🏆💰🌎
You nailed it. Reusing is always better than recycling. Many ppl ordering food at home. Do they have washable spoons and forks? Why keep taking plastic utensil? Tell the business to skip the plastic utensils in package?
if i have napkins that are used but not completely dirty, i quickly wipe down my electric stove with them before throwing them away.. it decreases the dirt on it by about 60% for when you actually clean it
@@gerardjachymiak5822 Yes and no. He's like this even in videos just like a few months ago too though. As an example, he was talking about traveling overseas. And one of the shuttles is very, very, very cheap but very uncomfortable. So you can pay $7 for a 3 hour shuttle ride where it's pretty much crammed like a sardine can. Whereas for $50 you could have that same 3 hour ride with a car by yourself. Or another one was where he makes a video talking about how to make Pho. I get the premise. But basically it's spending like 7 hours to make a bowl of pho. I'd just spend the $10 at my favorite joint.
yeah.. just calculate what it actually saves.. if not flushing saves $0.04 a day, just instead look for a way to earn an extra $300 dollars. that will yield $0.04 a day for the rest of your life
Let everyone know every $1 saved today can becomes $40 or more in retirement. Frugality is a virtue, a way of life. All things being equal, knowing your minimized expenses gives the earliest FIRE date. Thank you for your honesty in saving
Your videos had gotten so much better over the years. Insightful, knowledgeable, and they’ve even got funnier. Keep it and hope you get that roadster too !
My buddies at work pick on me for bringing my own lunch every day...what they don't realize is I'm the youngest on the crew, I'm not living pay check to pay check, I'm married, have a house and between us both we have 3 payed off vehicles. $10-$15 a day on lunch racks up fast!
You still have a long way to go. Don't use dishwasher or dryer. Swap the fridge for a small one. Don't use contacts. Avoid restaurants; usually also not healthy. Eat mostly veggies from your own garden.
I hear you but oh, the health concerns! It's not worth the savings. And please people, do not put dish soap in a dish washer. It is not formulated for that
Collect rain water to flush toilet. Uses washable towel and never use paper again. You don't need a sponge to clean your dishes. Clean it with your hands as soon as you're done eating or cooking. Don't need the AC, work place have AC during the day. At night, a cold shower and fan will do the trick. There's a lot of thing you don't need but it's nice to have them. Life is too short so enjoy it and not stress over the little things. But I do agree, being wasteful is a terrible thing.
I would call myself cheap but I don't do a lot of these. I go for the low-hanging fruit like not getting takeout, working out at home, finding the cheapest plans for monthly payments and avoiding subscriptions. After those you quickly hit diminishing returns, especially if you have a decent income + savings rate (I like the chicken tip though!).
Try wool dryer balls instead of sheets. They're cheap and last for years. They pay for themselves by reducing drying time, and are much quieter than the rubber ones.
I am surprised you leave unnecessary appliances plugged in. I unplug everything non essential. It adds up. Especially a microwave. I pretty much use all of these strategies. It is refreshing to see someone with means being mindful of not only their spending habits but also on an environmental level. I have found it seems to naturally go hand in hand. Thank you for creating thoughtful and encouraging content.
I think i will experiment with my dishwasher settings too. Out of habit I always have it on the pots and pans setting thinking that will clean the best. It runs for about 3 hours too which is crazy.
Good ideas for saving money. However, don’t be cheap when dealing with your eyes. Clean out your contact lens solution daily. Also replace your contact lens case frequently. Don’t need to get conjunctivitis or other disease.
Some of these are also environmentally friendly. Why trash useful items. I keep some napkins. Most of the time I put them in my car. More people in CA should try and save water.
I always hated the dryer sheet smell. Use dryer balls. They are usually on clearance at my local Marshals. They’re reusable, take the static away, and help dry faster. Money saver.
If you live in a cold climate don’t turn off the water heater completely. Can result in burst pipe and $10k+ in repair + cleanup cost. Saving 30 cents to increase risk or waste time seems a bit penny wise pound foolish.
Gotta love those saving tips, a little here and there adds up and feels good not wasting resources and environmentally friendly. As for shutting off gas supply when not at home, I don't know if that will reduce life span of your water boiler similar to shutting off refrigerator when not in use and reduce the life span of the freezer.
Some great tips there. Many of the tips help save the environment by re-using and not wasting things. Do you really hide things when friends come over? Surely they would be appreciative of your frugal ways.
Friend of mine ran out of dishwasher detergent and put a squirt of dish soap into the dishwasher soap dispenser, closed the door, started the cycle....and twenty minutes later had an entire kitchen floor full of fluffy soap suds. Maybe they used too much?
Francis, hang dry your clothes! Save on dryer utility cost. Also, the dryer heat damages the clothes, so they last longer if you hang dry. And no toxic dryer sheets. Re re-using the contact solution, I wouldn't risk the safety of your eyes. Instead of the screw off lens cases, use the pop top cases (they give them to me for free at the Dr. Office) because the basin is smaller and takes less solution. I also keep my x2 weekers for longer, usually x1 month.
Ok i do most of these things but the contact lens solution thing...is unsanitary. Saving a few bucks isn’t worth conjunctivitis or risking the health of your eyes
I can see the conversation with Graham had an influence on this video. Some parts of the video seemed forced but I also don't know you personally. I liked the video overall though, enjoyable!
Great video BTB! On the topic of taking hotel soaps + shampoos, I don't understand the stigma with taking it with you as you go. The way I frame it is as follows: 1) It's included with the cost of your stay, and since hotels buy in bulk at subsidized prices it costs them maybe $0.50 for a standard kit (hand soap bar, shampoo, conditioner, lotion) 2) Regardless of whether you use it or not, a good hotel is going to throw it away and restock for the next guest just due to simple health reasons 3) by taking that stuff with you, you save it from the landfill. Literally every single person that stays in a hotel should be taking that stuff with them. On the topic of bathing, I'll preface this by saying I was extremely skeptical before doing this but you honestly don't ever have to use soap or shampoo while showering. I've started a personal experiment 8 months ago by not using shampoo/soap for bathing anymore (only use soap for washing hands currently). My assumptions were that my dandruff would be aweful, my skin would feel dirty/grimy, I'd have more face/skin acne, and be more odorous. Of those assumptions, the only one that was true (for about the first 2 months) was that my dandruff became worse. But for me, after the two month mark, my dandruff and scalp itchiness went 99% away. My skin acne is non-existent, my wife always tells me I smell clean, and I feel just as clean as when I used soap/shampoo. The perks here are that you save time bathing (no need to suds up), don't have to use wash clothes, save money on soaps/shampoos, and still achieve the same end result of being clean. Anyways, figured I'd share the results of my experiment - I even thought about making a youtube video about it one day.
I do this one for real. Using washing liquid to clean everything, windows, mirrors, floor ect. Just need floor cleaner + water bottle spray, few drops of washing up liquid and water. It's cheap af and replaced so many cleaning products with one multi purpose solution.
I cannot recommend it to anyone since it's going way past manufacturer recommendations. But yes, I've gone way past but I always dispose it even after a few days of wear if it feels uncomfortable from a tear.
Did you sell your house? Or are you renting it out? What do you mean by "digital nomad"? When my contacts get stiff and scratchy, I rub a little bit of baking soda on them to get rid of the protein deposits, rinse them well, and put them in new all purpose solution. Usually, the next time I use them, they are soft, pliable and comfortable again. If that doesn't work, then I throw them out. I am afraid to reuse contact solution -- bacteria breeding ground. Just today, I rolled up the plastic netting bag that my limes came in and am using it as a scubber sponge in the kitchen. It works pretty well!
Dishwasher Pro Tip. Empty the dishwasher immediately after it's clean. Then pile dirty dishes in the dish washer throughout the week. That way you don't need a sign. And even better, your kitchen will always be clean because every time you have a dirty dish you hide it in the dirty dishwasher. No more dirty dishes in the sink.
What a lot of hassle to go around and remove things and hide things from your visitors just to save a dollar or two. You don’t have to save condiments if you don’t waste your money on takeout
If you shower with every single piece of your clothes on you k ill two birds with one stone and save money on the electricity needed to wash a whole load and no more laundry soap.
Only thing here I don’t think I can do is the sponge. Alternatively just use a dish rag that can be washed in the washing machine with the rest of your clothes
Definitely respect your money saving tips. Question, have you always been like this? Or at one point did you spent a lot of money and decided to change?
Damn I guess I am frugal too, or just smart with money. Here's the things I also do. (Everything else, I do not) 1st - We definitely do that in our house. Putting a bottle filled with water inside a toilet water tank to save water. Or you can get one of those toilet that gives you the options to do half tank or full tank flush. 2 - Water down a bit on the hand soap, we definitely do that too. Most of the time we use more soap than we need anyways. 3 - Always take unfinished soaps and any other toiletries from Hotels after your stay. 4 - Definitely always use half dime size when squeezing out toothpaste (That's really all you need). any excess is just a waste of money. 5 - Washing your hair less with shampoo is definitely true. Our hair is supposed to feel a bit oily from natural body oil. Some shampoo's are actually more harmful for your hair. I wash my hair with Shampoo only 2 times a week (with sulfate free shampoo). rest of the week I just rinse with warm water. 6 - We use grocery bags for trash bag. Saves money to re-use the bags instead of throwing them away. 7 - I also re-use the towels after I dry my hands (clean hands) as napkins, then throw away after.
Anyone turn down the water heater unit thermostat(min setting) that also saves , don't have really hot showers anyways, and have instant hot water boiler for greater temperature needs like kitchen...
My mom taught me about the water flush. I find it nasty... so she will turn on her faucet and let it dripped. We would collect buckets of water and flush it down.
@@BeatTheBush People have been asking you to make a vid on your living situation for months but you always ignore it. Where do you stay and what are the financial incentives of living in airbnbs over your own paid off house?

Why using a dish washing machine, if you can easily wash you dishes by hand. Much cheaper!!!
Thanks for the helpful tips. This extreme frugality can lead to a compulsive habit that is likely to affect your mental health and happiness.
This WHOLE video is pretty compulsive. I imagine many non-frugal people will think this is nuts.
BS
what kind of frugal has TWO electric toothbrushes!
OMG i've just saw another regular one

Yeah... I cannot recommend that method to anyone but as the cheapest person ever, that's what I do.
Do NOT USE CHEAP SOLUTION FOR CONTACTS!!!! well at least for me it hurts my eyes -.-.
Lol. A frugal video with “Don’t buy it” merch. Only in America!
=D Naturally, not many people buy that. I might have to change it!

You still use a dryer I see. That’s some missed savings.
Great practical advice again 👍, you drifted away....
If you shower with every single piece of your clothes on you k ill two birds with one stone and save money on the electricity needed to wash a whole load and no more laundry soap.
Lmao I am not sure the clothes will be very clean
Would that not make you shower longer?
Yes ! We all do that at the Oahu Correctional Center when the weather is sunny and the showers are outside.
What! toilet water and foam wash wasted?!
Instead of a sponge use a brush. Will last forever
That joke in the beginning of the video about the toilet LOL
This looks like a different house. Did you move?
Someone wise once told me that the richest place on earth are graveyards. Live life, you earned it!
Ha ha! Will do!
Tennis ball in dryer works the same as a dryer sheets.
I should try that. =D
I practice these al my life haha. Except the contact lenses cos I just wear specs. Collect toothpicks as well.
Only thing here I don’t think I can do is the sponge. Alternatively just use a dish rag that can be washed in the washing machine with the rest of your clothes
you can also cut the sponge in half to make them last twice as long. sponge sizes honestly are a bit too large
Definitely respect your money saving tips. Question, have you always been like this? Or at one point did you spent a lot of money and decided to change?
ha, no one has to know, now we all know... well done!
Good ideas. So funny...How will they know?
Looking at this video is like looking in a mirror. Waste not, want not, I always say.
You remembered my quote
Lol I laughed so much!!
Yeah, I’m not gonna do any of this
Cutting the sheets for the dryer in half go a long way.
Don’t forget to turn off the water main as well, not just the gas.
Well...now we know why you are single! LOL
LOL!
This is random but I prefer that basic fridge to your other stainless steel one 🤣
Great video. Thank you for another great video.
I don't take towels from hotel room wink wink!
Damn I guess I am frugal too, or just smart with money. Here's the things I also do. (Everything else, I do not)
1st - We definitely do that in our house. Putting a bottle filled with water inside a toilet water tank to save water. Or you can get one of those toilet that gives you the options to do half tank or full tank flush.
2 - Water down a bit on the hand soap, we definitely do that too. Most of the time we use more soap than we need anyways.
3 - Always take unfinished soaps and any other toiletries from Hotels after your stay.
4 - Definitely always use half dime size when squeezing out toothpaste (That's really all you need). any excess is just a waste of money.
5 - Washing your hair less with shampoo is definitely true. Our hair is supposed to feel a bit oily from natural body oil. Some shampoo's are actually more harmful for your hair. I wash my hair with Shampoo only 2 times a week (with sulfate free shampoo). rest of the week I just rinse with warm water.
6 - We use grocery bags for trash bag. Saves money to re-use the bags instead of throwing them away.
7 - I also re-use the towels after I dry my hands (clean hands) as napkins, then throw away after.
Dry hands with towels? In the kitchen use a hand towel? Bam, no wasted paper towels.
Anyone turn down the water heater unit thermostat(min setting) that also saves , don't have really hot showers anyways, and have instant hot water boiler for greater temperature needs like kitchen...
My mom taught me about the water flush. I find it nasty... so she will turn on her faucet and let it dripped. We would collect buckets of water and flush it down.
U can put regular dish soap on dishwasher!!!?? OMG 🤯
Well... sort of. You can easily put too much and all this foam will come out. So I'd say about 2 teaspoon is probably the limit.
In Germany there are even several billionaires who live cheap. Discounter markets such as Aldi and Lidl are their business so it's no surprise
I love the title and thumbnail lol 😂
I wouldn't consider some of these things as cheap. It's more frugal and even environmentally friendly by consuming less.
how about taking the hotel consumables on the first day of stay ? then the hotel staff will replace them the next day :)
Thanks for showing me some tips to save money. 🙂
