You Know You’re a Cheap Bastard When…

- You scoop furiously at the Yoplait container to get at the remaining yogurt stuck on the bottom.
- You do the same exact thing when you empty out a can of soup into the pot.
Seriously, I just want to get my money’s worth, ‘s all.

Do you stick your tongue into the yogurt cup and swoop it around the inside top edge? That’s the hardest to get, but it’s worth it.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm……..maybe it says alot about our consumer and throw-away culture when if we DON’T just waste stuff that we think there is something wrong with that!

I honestly thought everybody did that – what kind of monster doesn’t? When my spaghetti sauce runs low, I store it upside down to get every last drop out of it the next time I use it.
You should see what I do with my tube of toothpaste. I have a technique where I position my toothbrush & toothpaste in one hand, and then scrape the tube against the edge of my sink to squeeze the last 0.01 ounce out of the tube onto my toothbrush. This is most diffucult at 6:15 AM.

Glad to hear I’m not the only furious yogurt scooper.
Here’s a question regarding a similar situation: Who eats the heels of loaves of bread? I never did when I was a kid, but now that I’m a grown-up and I have to buy my own bread, I make sure not to waste it. Unless it’s moldy, of course. :)

Adding a bit of water to the jar of spaghetti sauce then shaking it works good too.
