My Story

My name is Angel Durr and I am the newest of TLC’s Extreme Cheapskates. I was pregnant when the show aired and have since had a beautiful little girl. I think my story is unique from the Cheapskates featured so far because my background and reasoning is very different from everyone that has been on the show thus far. The show has a habit of showing people in situations without explaining how they got there. I am going to provide you all with my back story so you can understand who we are.

Living Within Your Means

Far too often today I see people shopping and buying for status associated with those items. Spending outside ones means or spending without anticipation of your future financial situation will inevitably catch up with you. I know it certainly caught up with me and my husband.

Paying for Ambiance

Did you know that you pay for ambiance? Did you know you actually pay for those fancy fancy carts, fancy shopping bags, and employees who are trained to cater to your every whim. I personally consider myself a pretty low maintenance individual so I make a point to not frequent places where I am actually paying for anything other than the product or products I am buying. 

Buy Reduced

My earlier post from today leads me into another money-saving topic very near and dear to my heart, buying reduced. Folks, if you shop the clearance rack for clothes you can shop the clearance rack for food! (LOL)

Freezing Your Food

Freezers are very valuable appliances. I save a great deal of money by freezing most of my food. Yes of course you can buy those pre-frozen bags of food but we pay for the convenience of having someone cut up those onions and carrots for us.
