I re-use toilet paper.

Just kidding. That would be really shitty.

There's a post way back about someone's grandpa rinsing and drying glad wrap for reuse, gold

My late FIL washed and kept every food container he received from Meals on Wheels, one meal a day, for about four years. All neatly stacked in cupboards and the garage, never re-used.

Geez if we are going to include fathers/grandfathers then this thread will go to a whole new level I recon.

When they first got rid of 1 and 2 cent pieces my grandfather would go through the supermarket checkout multiple times if it meant he could save more because of rounding down each time.

I find the 1kg hommus buckets really good for home improvement stuff - mixing concrete repair compound, small batches of wallpaper glue, etc

I tend to have a couple of clean ones stacked away for use

That’s a **** load of hommus, I don’t mind it but I don’t use by the bucketful

Does it need to be an hommus bucket

Have been stacking those buckets for awhile, missus keeps asking "one is this one in the dishwasher? Don't you have enough already"

Could be Vegemite, would take a while to build a stock of empty buckets though

I've been collecting jars for a while now, got a shitload and have never bothered pickling veggies or anything, they just sit there. Now it feels like a waste to throw out any jar, it's a trap!

I've heard a story of someone using the plastic wrap used on delivered newspapers being recycled for clingwrap on their sandwiches

My work phone has a solid Telstra internet connection , so I've hot spotted off it instead of broadband for the last year .

It happily runs at least two streaming screens at once. I dont play those computer games that all the rage at the moment .

I expected work IT to send me a warning but no. Unlimited data no dramas .

Probably only a matter of time. They can definitely get the hotspot data use from Telstra if they so choose. Until then, hell yeah.

But a nature strip sounds so fuarkin stupid. It sounds like a chick who doesn't like a razors or something at the zoo. In fact, it's so ******ed, it's the kind of vernacular Kiwis would use.

It's a berm.

My last job was catching stuff like that. One woman was running up a huge bill on her work phone on a cruise ship in Europe - she got a warning. A few people were using an app to buy credits for their family's prepaid phones - they got fired.

These days jobs like I had have been outsourced overseas to people who don't GAF. Reckon you are safe.

oops, search function n00b

I posted that in 2021

but you can't use the search function now, Uncle Xen Foro has locked down the code in case of imminent US abductions.

Watched a video yesterday of an American who goes to fast food places and asks for ketchup sachets so he can fill up his bottle at home with them. He claims he saves $70-$80 a year by doing this

I saw that also, why bother emptying them into an old bottle, they are literally in individually packaged serves?

Not too mention any old sauce becoming moldy in the bottle.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Seen shit like that before. Maybe on Ricki lake in the 90s about tight asses talking toilet paper from hotels and public toilets amd condiments etc.

Morons.

Look at Mr Moneybags here, being wasteful. Each packet could stretch to two, maybe even three, serves.

How much ketchup does this person consume?

I MIGHT go through two bottles a year and its a very cheap condiment.

Stealing those little Splenda packets from McDs makes more sense. Splenda is a decent tasting sugar alternative & quite expensive . Go in at a busy time & grab a handful.

Though i went into the one at Calder & they had Equal. Don't know if this is a full time pivot away from Splenda. I just don't know. It could be a tight atse thing that McDonalds is doing .

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

They taste like shit those sugar replacements. I haven't had sugar in my coffee for 25 years.
