Frugal people who aren't pedophiles

Bananas frozen before they go mushy
E.D Hill of Fox & Friends has, for the past two days, asked listeners to e-mail  unusually frugal behavior they know about.  Here are some. 
Steve in Minnesota says his mother rinses out and reuses paper coffee filters.

I've done this on several ocassions after I ran out of filters.  One filter may be reused 5-6 times.
Debbie says her daughter, who makes a good salary, buys her clothes at Goodwill... but only on half-price days.
Lita in California says a friend of hers confessed to buying two-ply toilet paper and splitting it onto two separate rolls.
Carrie in Illinois says her uncle, who is an attorney, went to a pizza place with his family. After another family gets up and leave a half-eaten pizza, they sat down and ate the rest. Gross.
Nancy in Texas cuts Oil of Olay washcloths in half.
De Ann in Florida cuts the end out of the toothpaste to use it all up.
Some guy said his mom liked the idea of the Food Saver vacuum sealer, but was too cheap to buy one.  She stuck a straw into a baggy, and sucked the air out.

LOL. I did the same thing.
• E.D Hill  irons, then reuses gift paper.
• Chuck Schumer picks the corn out of his poop and eats it.

LOL, I do the same thing with marbles.

My sister has made inroads with her local library - she makes sure they buy the films that she wants to see.

I reuse aluminum foil. If it's dirty, I stick it in the dishwasher.

In my family, we cut fabric softener sheets in half.

Hey, I see you're using UN*X commands as "Word Verification" words.

Blogger is running the verification. I think they go way overboard.
