I'm just watching their episode and noticed the gigantic dvd/bluray collection they have. Those cost money last I checked.
shareI do not remember a dvd/blu-ray collection that the family has, but I believe you. Maybe they got the money for their dvd/blu-ray collection by the ways the save money.
shareI noticed a lot of these cheapskates have tattoos, which aren't cheap.
I grew up in a house with no bathroom and only cold running water in the kitchen sink until I was 12. Then we finally had one bathroom for five people. Now, I have four bathrooms and two hot water heaters, and I'd never, ever live that way again.
Sharing bathwater is just nasty.
Roland, that's a lilac bush!
In east Asia (even places where they have money such as Japan), it is common to share baths. BUT, they also wash off first in a separate shower before entering the bath.
shareThe mother and son in the family were very obese. How did they end up like that from eating stuff like squirrel and frogs legs?
I think TLC may have lied about a few things :P
Definitely. A real cheapskate would never pay for enough calorie content to get fat. A lot of the people on this show are not frugal at all; they are just attention-seekers.

Ugh. Keep in mind these folks don't use toilet paper--they wipe their butts with newspaper. I think it's a pretty safe bet that, among other things, there's fecal matter in that bath water. Yuck.
It's scary - why would a family of four share one tub full of COLD water?? Unbelievable. You can't get your hair clean on a dime sized dab of shampoo. Her hair looks like it is curly, but the lank way it hangs, makes it look greasy, like it isn't clean.
I just don't get it. Even if some of it is staged, there has to be some nugget of truth in ir. Even their married daughter was appalled.

Excuse me but there's ALWAYS going to be poop on your anus regardless of toilet paper or news paper

Watching the episode now. She says "We're never that dirty"...yet at the beginning of the episode when they show her son in the tub, the water is BROWN! *gag*
The whole episode is just disgusting - I mean, more so than normal, which is pretty bad!

That was so gross. They can take foot baths where they lather up and rinse themselves off in clean water from a bowl and call it a day. The teenage son looked very uncomfortable sharing a bed with his mom.And the whole kicker is that they were not savign that much anyway so what is the point?
