Extreme Cheapskates

I have recently watched a few or more episodes  of a tv series called 'Extreme Cheapskates'. I must say more than most of these "habits" are rash, disgusting, shocking, and extreme.

Peeing in a bottle, not to have to flush the toilet, saving 5 dollars a month? I'd rather pay the extra money and reassure myself of good hygiene and cleanliness.
Asking people if you can throw in some of your laundry with them at the laundromat? Again, hygiene.. Not to mention that secret stow away of that strangers underwear in your t-shirt you may find. And what does that save you? Two dollars?! Save the two dollars on the dryer and hang your clothes to dry.
Washing dishes in your childs' outdoor play pool that they've been playing in all day. Germs. How does that make them clean? Don't mind the dirt, grass and kiddie urine on your glass, we mixed dish soap in there too! That is one house I will gladly not be invited to eat dinner at.
FEEDING CAT FOOD TO YOUR HUSBAND TO SAVE 30 CENTS. A woman honestly fed her husband a cat food tuna sandwich because the wet tuna flavored cat food was cheaper than actual tuna. And he had no idea!? Now this show is a joke and scam or some people are honestly this cheap and that stupid.

However, being a hunter for a great deal and bargain, always looking for ways to save money, it was interesting to see how the 'Extreme' do it.
I will never be able to bring myself to do some of the things I've seen some people do on this show, but in one episode, a woman did had some good information for people to know. Hopefully it won't be used to such extremes, especially if you have sleeping family and neighbors.
