Sometimes You Can Go A Little Too Far..."Extreme Cheapskates"


What would you do to save a buck?

The Story:

The Learning Channel (TLC) brings us tales of people who do anything...and everything... to save a buck.

If you're watching it to find some frugal tips to help out your budget...

This is not that show!

Seriously?

I watched over half of the first episode, getting irritated and disinterested in equal amounts by the second.

The first guy sets the tone...

Asking people at restaurants for their leftovers to take home and eat?

Giving anniversary presents out of the garbage can?

No. No. No.

While I won't say it gets "worse" from there, it certainly doesn't get any better.

The thing I also found most amusingly annoying...

::voiceover::

The average monthly savings of $6... annual savings of $100...

:: voiceover::

Really people?!

Just bite the bullet, and pay the price.

It's a small price to pay to restore your spot in the human race.


Now streaming instantly on Netflix if you'd care to indulge.

Unless you're too cheap to have Netflix!

;)

Final Grade: D

Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: No. No. Not going to happen!
