Sometimes, people take the idea of saving too seriously, and they go beyond the limits, and their behavior becomes so deep and expressive that even the people around them feel weird about it. I have seen some people doing weird things, being extremely cheapskate. Here are some of them in a list that you might have seen, too.
What are extreme cheapskate ideas?
Extreme cheapskate ideas are bad examples of a cheap mentality, which for normal people seems humorous. However, extreme cheapskate ideas can make drastic changes, adding stress to our lives and finances.
How to be a cheapskate?
1- Dumpster dive for food.
I had heard of dumpster diving in technology, but I was nearly shocked when I saw people doing it for free food in a restaurant. You may not believe that people actually do this to save money.
Compromising on money or compromising on health, they go along with each other, which people are doing. Though saving money by eating food and dumpster diving is good, it is nearly unacceptable.
2- Searching trash cans to find free refill cups and bags.
People are digging the trash for free cups and bags, reusing them, or selling them for money.
Maybe it is a great idea, but it seems pathetic to others; like things that cost you nothing more than a dollar, why bother yourself to dive into trash cans for free bags and cups? This scratches your reputation if you do this in daylight.
This is way too far; use tote bags you can buy once and reuse them repeatedly after a wash. It is environmentally friendly and saves you many dollars on every shopping you do when you go into the market.
3- Instead of using the toilet, people use bottles.
Though it is safer to use a bottle instead of public toilets to save money, etc., since many places have self-cleaning operating systems, that concerning hygiene is not a problem.
Using bottles is another addition of plastic waste to the environment, which can be proved as hazardous if you throw them in toilets.
That is another extreme and pathetic way to save money and go cheap. Be sensible and moderate in your lifestyle, and adopt only those healthy habits that are good for you and your budget.
4- Ask for extra seasonings to take them home from restaurants
Many people do this, like the student living in foreign lands and sharing the room with some other students they try to save their budgets, in that corner, these are some of the hacks like; usually, people do.
But have you ever imagined what others think of this act when you do this in front of others? That is free, no doubt, but taking them is not an option. If the server asks yo one dayu, please, sir, this is not included in your bill, you can not take them. That might become your nightmare.

People are dead, people’s clothes, people’s and pathetic….. like people donate the clothes that belong to the person who has died of their family. So people with low incomes can take some to help themselves.
But hold on! I have seen some families who take such dead person clothes and use them like, why and how they get the nerves. This is extreme.
They wear clothes without checking if the dead have had some viral disease or some skin infection that could take their feet on them. Without considering it, people go on people’s dead people’s cltheipeople’se the people’s
6- Eat leftover food when at a restaurant.
Why bother wasting fuel if you are going to restaurants to eat the leftovers when you can cook at home? That would be a fresh and healthy option for you and your face, which you might lose if you eat other leftovers.
Other people who leave their food on their plates are not always healthy; they might have some oral disease to transfer their leftovers. But it is a fact that many people eat the leftovers at restaurants while staking their health to save their money, which could come in any use but not for their health.
Saving money is good, but compromising health is the worst thing you could do. You earn and spend to give yourself and your family a healthy life, not to put them and yourself in jeopardy of health and give money a long life to spend in bank accounts.
7- bring roadkill animals to home and eat them
it’seems like it’s okay if people arepeople’s dead people’s clothes, but eating a person you took from the road is a curse to your health.
That animal might have died because of any possible reason, from a disease from another poisonous animal bite, from an accident, and have been on the road for days. Many insects started the decaying process. But taking that thing home and eating it is the worst cheapskate thing people ever do.
The animal you have not seen where it is from and how it died, but you are saving money by calculating that you can eat the meat for a weweek’s save a week’s money. toweek’setter toweek’se a vegetarian, though it has no side effects.
8- Bringing your home food to a restaurant
Some people take enjoyment and saving so seriously that they bring their food to save money on restaurant food and eat the restaurants init’staurants; it’s pretty good that they are wasting money on fuel to come to restaurants. Still, they can not see it, and what they see is the money they are saving on food.
Why bother with hotels, cafes, or restaurants if you only want to save money, and for that, you are bringing your own food?
Tips:
Saving money is another concept if you compare it with cheapskate; they both go in different streams. You can not compare them, even in any case. Cheapskate is going beyond the limits to save money and compromise your health.
Save when it is good in time, not when you need money for your health.
Good luck!
