Yesterday, I was taking shower and making a solid attempt to shave my legs.
It wasn't really working because I think I've had the razor I was using for months. I literally can't remember the last time I went out and bought a new razor. Cheap or otherwise.
I guess there are few ways that you can tell you're a little bit too cheap. The razors are just the beginning.
I have made two packages of toilet paper last me the entire semester.
I am still on my first bottles of Suave Shampoo that my aunt bought for me when I moved in in August.
Cafe Rio is literally the only thing I will splurge on and only because of the promise of an eventual free meal.
Before I would buy more deodorant, I found the little crumbly pieces that fall down to the bottom and mashed those onto what was left and used that all.
I do not drive if I can help it so that I don't have to pay for gas.
I eat a lot of ramen noodles. And I only eat free ramen noodles. These particular ones were provided courtesy of my ex-work breakroom
I take pictures of things that I want in stores to show to someone else who might want to buy it for me instead of buying it for myself.
When I got my nails done for the Marine Corps Ball, I searched and search for the cheapest possible place until I found a full set for $20.
I do not laundry until I have exhausted every possible wardrobe option because I don't want to pay the 2 bucks to do it. On top of that, I still have the same laundry detergent my aunt bought me when I moved in August.
I don't have money and I don't want to spend money...I'm a little bit cheap. Hopefully that will change when a little bit when I get home and my mom is feeding me again. That is something I am looking forward to about moving back home. A full fridge and cupboards of quick fixes...
Is there any shame in being cheap? I don't really think so, but I wish I didn't have to be!
