Frugal mum leaves people stunned with three weird things she does to save money including squishing toilet roll down
A FRUGAL mum has revealed the three weird ways she saves money – but some have hailed her a genius.
Taking to TikTok, the money-saving mum left people stunned with her cost-cutting ideas.
In the short clip posted to her TikTok account, Sweet Frugal Life, she said: “Nothing wrong with me! What’s something weird that you do to save money?”
She then revealed the three weird habits she’s picked up to save money.
The first cost-cutting idea was to squash toilet paper down before replacing the finished roll.
Another weird tip the mum had was to unplug everything that wasn’t in use to help save her money on her electricity bill.
The mum revealed that she cut her toothpaste tube when it was ‘finished.’
This allows her to get every last bit of toothpaste in the tube.
Finally, she revealed she often gives people thrifted gifts from around her home.
In another video, the mum revealed why she squashes toilet rolls down.
She said: “Not squishing: Easy to pull toilet paper so you will use more.
“Squishing: Harder to pull toilet paper so you will use less.”
The video soon went viral with over two million views and 107k likes and people were torn by whether the mum’s money-saving ways were genius or miserable.
One wrote: “Work smarter not harder.”
A second person commented: “that’s not saving money, that’s living miserably.”
A third penned: “I would hate to get a thrifted item as a gift. Don’t bother.”
Meanwhile, a fourth added: “Love to see it!”
“That’s not weird. That’s awesome,” a fifth claimed.
Another person said: “Miserable living, not saving.”
