Seriously...cheap

Here's a list of the ways some people try to save money. Got this from AOL:

1. One couple picks out anniversary cards for each other by going to the store, picking out the cards, exchanging them, reading them, and putting them back.
2. Some people flush only once per day.
3. One guy used "previously used" kitty litter in the horseshoe pit.
4. One guy used to cut the elastic waistband off of old underwear and tie them to his forehead to use as "sweatbands".
5. One guy was so cheap, after he accidentally swallowed a tooth cap and didn't want to pay a few hundred dollars to have a new one made, he actually fished it out of the toilet after it worked its way through his system and had the dentist re-use it.

What creative ways have you tried to save money?

way gross. But my sister Jen once swallowed a button on a sweater when she was a baby, and when Mom came back across it, it got sewn on again.

Okay now, there's no room for fake tooth pride when there's a poopy button on your sweater! I'm never going to be able to look at Jen in the same way again.
