True accounts of how to be cheap (although thrifty is a nicer word):
"I don't buy clothes. I have the same ones I had in high school, pretty much." --DAWN WEEKS, U OF OREGON
"I can lots of fruits and vegetables. I also have a dehydrator, so I dehydrate any produce I can get cheap or free." --PAM MEISMER, U OF MONTANA
"I steam vegetables, defrost meat, and wash dishes all at the same time in the dishwasher. You're already using the heat and the water, and you might as well take advantage of it." --JED CORMAN, U OF GEORGIA
"I collect Coke bottles and put them in the basement. You never know when you'll never money. I get 20 cents for the big bottles, 10 for the small ones." --LAURIE BRINK, U OF TENNESSEE
"I don't go out to eat a lot, and I budget myself on dates...bring my lunch to work...get short haircuts...find activities that aren't real expensive. I mean, I'm not going out and joining the polo club." --DANNY WEBERMAN, U OF MICHIGAN
