"Diary Of A Cheapskate" Video Ignites Debate Over Extreme Frugal Living Hacks
A recent online video by "Diary Of A Cheapskate" has sparked considerable discussion by detailing five unconventional methods for saving money and reducing waste. The video, uploaded on August 10, 2025, from Great Britain, features the author demonstrating practices such as reusing cereal bags for pet waste, collecting complimentary items from hotel rooms, and even selling empty toilet paper rolls online. Additionally, the author showcases homemade baked goods as an alternative to store-bought snacks and uses candles for lighting to conserve electricity. While some viewers praise these methods as environmentally friendly and financially savvy, others have expressed concerns. One commenter noted, "Yes it’s cheapskate-esque, but you’re also doing so much for the environment! I can’t hate on any of these hacks." Conversely, another remarked, "complimentary tea and coffee are put out so you can have what you need 🤔 doesn't mean you have to take what you don't need 🤔," highlighting a debate over the ethics of taking hotel amenities. The practice of selling empty toilet paper rolls also drew attention, with one user stating, "People buy boxes of empty toilet rolls? I’ve literally heard it all now 🤦🏻♀️." The video has garnered significant attention, accumulating over 1.3 million views and more than 64,000 likes, underscoring the public's interest in extreme frugality and its implications.
