Every single person’s parents do SOMETHING weird just to save a few bucks. It’s a scientific fact. My father travels a lot for work and 2x a year (X-mas and my birthday) he will give me a box of hotel toiletries and I’m SO cheap that I look forward to these days because I actually use them instead of buying these things for myself. So, my dad’s too cheap to buy me real gifts and I’m too cheap to buy myself soap.
Children of cheapskates, what are some of the ridiculous things your parent/s have done to save a couple of bucks? from AskReddit
