Extreme tightwad hasn't wasted cash on doing laundry for three years

10/3/2012

In this economy, every penny counts. And one New York skinflint known only as "Kay" has some hot tips for those hoping never to blow the cobwebs off their coin purse. Featured in the upcoming season of TLC's "Extreme Cheapskates," Kay claims she has not used a washer or dryer in three years and does not use toilet paper in her unflinching bid to scrimp through the recession. "Whenever I have dirty clothes, I try to wash them while I'm showering," she says. As for her stance on T.P., she sees buying paper products as akin to flushing cash straight down the toilet and instead squirts affected areas with water from a drink bottle. We're going to take a wild stab here and guess she also saves a lot of money on dates. [Source]
