Midwest Cheap

Midwest cheap = Detroit broke

i'm not even lying, we have had ketchup packets from culvers in our fridge for YEARS sometimes

wait.... you're telling me not everyone puts their empty jars in the dishwasher?

i appreciate the duluth trading co shirt. this is a small but important detail

My mom recently threw away all our sauce packets on a cleaning binge and it was a real moment of emotional turmoil for the family.

I was raised in the South and have been in Boston for 32 years. I thought Yankees were cheap, now I'm learning about the Midwest. Love it!

scraping the jar, just because I want my sandwich now and the store is 10 minutes away

That wine trick is genius!

Hey I'm Chinese and we can be very good friend

He’s tapping his phone with duct tape as an holder🤣

Gotta be a lot of DNA from Småland in Sweden. That region is famous for its frugal culture. The fictional character Oscar and Christina in the Moberg trilogy came from Småland and settled in Minnesota I believe. The very real character, also from Småland, Ingvar Kamprad, founder of IKEA, was known for being very cheap and frugal. He never took a bank loan and ended up on the top ten list over riches persons in the world. He was said to travel in economy class at a time when he could buy the entire air line company in cash.

You can get 3 rolls of duck tape for the price of just one car phone holder apparently. It's all about the math.

Love your accent keep it up

For your anniversary why don’t ya take her to that super romantic place where they prepare the food right in front of you. No, not Bennyhana. Subway.

he's really good at this. i got some new ideas, thanks.

Love the Duluth shirt especially bc everything there costs an arm and a leg

Too accurate. And the people that save like this are either dirt poor or hood rich. My grandpa Bill was like this, and kept all his rationing skills from the war. Reused coffee, kept all his metal, you name it. Pinched pennies until his dying day, ended up with like $80,000 saved or something crazy.

Remember - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Being cheap is good for your wallet and the environment.

I'm a college student. He looks like a pretty regular guy with a regular life.

I'm in Iowa. My husband is from Ohio. His selling point on a jar of jam was that we could use it for a glass after it was empty.

I've trained him well 😂

that's Midwest poor not cheap 😂

Freddy Frugal if he was born in Wisconsin

I'll be honest, yeah, this isn't too far off. I kept my samsung S7 for about 6 years, thing was dying but I couldn't be bothered to upgrade. I'm not an obsessive thrifter, but I'm always looking for the best deal I can get, tempered of course with obsessive amounts of research to ensure I'm getting the products that best match my needs.

not donating to goodwill saves you from having to buy another one from goodwill later

Kept waiting for the punchline...

Midwest, huh?
I must be a Midwesterner...but from Germany.

I love the twist at the end!! 🥰🥰

Dude the amount that I’d pay to have you me of those footballs from the beginning again

They forgot to do the cutting the empty toothpaste tube in half to use up every bit of the paste we paid for.😂

Cheap?!? That doesn't look like the Carlo Rossi Rhine Mr. Big Spender. Around the start of November, they tend to sell it as a BO-GO deal.

The overlap between midwest cheap and southern cheap is REAL.

He makes really good points here.

Nice appearance by Chaz's nips!

Plastic store bags saved in a bag-of-bags to be used as small File-13 liners.

I'm using the "How about two Washingtons?" in my bartering strateeegery.

YEEEEEEEEEAH CHARLIE REPPING DULUTH MINNESOTA!!!!

Points for the hat with the late 90's Brewers logo. My dad had/still has a hat with that logo. He loves it. I always liked it. :)

people call me cheap, but I call them suckers of capitalism.

sweating the pennies but losing the pound.

Seriously, DRIVING anywhere for ketchup packets must be the joke.

what's the ending song 😆

midwesterners should definitely come to russia . it will feels like home 🤣

😮having flashbacks.. married cheap freak who filled my hair conditioner bottle with the cheapest he could find.. didn't think I would notice! That's just one example of why he had to go👉

Hey. Saving extra sauces in the fridge and glass jars is an American secret not just the northwest!
