Uck! I've seen this show once before. I still say Uck, but on the other hand some of it make sense. If more people would consider doing some of this stuff then our landfills would not be over filled & just think of the money you could save. I didn't get to see this, my WiFi is down in this area, maybe tomorrow. Thanks for sending again.

Grew up with a friend whose family was so cheap, they'd take any presents/gifts &try to return it to the store for money.They'd also show off these fashionable clothes& preach about being well-dressed, when in fact they got all their clothes from Salvation Army. Now grown, they talk about how much money friends make (not polite). Another friend who's so greedy, when she visited my home, she asked me to pay her back for the highway toll! Nonetheless, I am no longer close friends with these pathetic morons.

This show is fascinating. A lot of it is over the top and absurd, but at the same time, there are some good ideas.
