Comedian Charlie Berens is back to his frugal ways in Midwest Cheap Part 2. Charlie has a cheap fix for everything on his to-do list including fixing the shower head, painting the living room, and even ordering extra napkins with his food delivery.

The way he used the streaming password as a recurring motif and then brought it all together at the end: that’s good writing.

To save on the post stamp you can also do the following:

1. Write your address in the receiver field,
2. Write the address of the one who should get it in the sender field
3. Mark the letter as 'receiver payed'
4. When the letter 'arrives' you decline it
5. Letter should get sent back to the sender as not deliverable.

And so you can save ¢80 just by committing one measly federal crime.

I tell my kids, ya gotta grab at least an inch of napkins when getting fast food. BTW, Jasons Deli has the best with a tensile strength close to printer paper, yet as soft as a cloth diaper. One will last a couple two tree days easy. I have a plastic grocery bag full of em if you want to trade any for that Disney+ passward.

The entire Midwest all watching Hamilton on the same Disney plus account

This version is nefarious. This man isn’t just Midwestern cheap- he’s Midwestern bachelor fresh out of college cheap.

[DarrellVermilion]

To be fair, a _lot_ of effort went into that gift.

[amyr.]

He was like a stock trader with those streaming accounts 😝

The water jug weights aren’t even cheap. That’s just a good idea.

[phyllisstein]

Ok, the hillbilly free weights are genius.

The dishwasher full of old food containers was my house growing up. Also, my mom was making Clorox bottle weights back in the 70's. Last year I found a coupon for Tylenol that expired in 1991 on her kitchen table. She has a drawer full of felt-tip pens with no caps on them. Can't throw those away....she'll find SOME use for them.

One of my favorites is mixing 10% dish soap and the rest water into a foaming soap container. It works just as well as foaming soap!

[Jenicide]

Oh the whipped cream bowl Tupperware...😂😂😂 always makes me think of my Gramma.

[beccag]

Are you telling there exist people who DON’T water down their soap/shampoo/conditioner at least 3 times before throwing it out?

[noyopacific]

I don't call it "cheap!" we call being thrifty, and thriftyness is next to godliness, don cha know!

[Hoppecs]

Also in the Milwaukee area, and so many of these are accurate... we recently did some dog sitting and washed and returned the zip-lock bag the dogs food came in. The look on the owner's face when we returned a clean bag was amazing. 'well...now you have one for next time, or we could hold it for ya'

I can always count on Charlie to cheer me up after a heartbreaking loss. Mr Berens, you are a scholar and a gentleman.

So my mother went to Big Lots around 07, and she picks up these sparkling flavored waters because she likes the bottle. It's thin and good for storage she thinks. Anyway, she finishes the drinks and starts using the bottles for this and that, few bottle for storing cream, another has some cleaner under the sink, another one she's using for a water bottle. She's got a couple she shoves some of those, those tuna casserole noodles, I can't remember the damn name.
So she's cleaning up the kitchen one day after making a batch of lefse for Faith Lutheran, and she remembers that she forgot her vitamins that morning. She throws em back there and starts drinking from the bottle, to get em down. But she notices they feel funny in her mouth. They start to dissolve. At first, she thinks it's the pills. Bad batch, she figures! She looks at the bottle, and sure enough it's the kitchen cleaner. She and Dad run over to the urgent care over there by the old Stamart and explain the whole situation. And she's thinkin', that's it. That's just IT, ya know. So she's writing up the service on the back of a Kroll's kitchen coupon from her purse. She's trying to decide between "beyond the sunset" and "a mighty fortress is our God" when the doctor comes in. I don't know if you know her, she's ah, she's Turtle Mountain Chippewa or Metis, I can't remember. And Mom is from Bottineau, so she's asking if she knows so and so while that doctor tries to take her information, ya? Anyhow, she calls poison control about this cleaner. I think it's that Mean Green stuff, it's always on clearance at K-Mart it seems like. And wouldn't ya know it, it's just vinegar and this and that. She gets the all clear. Anyhow, we're having a Speghetti supper to cover the bill down at Northridge next week Friday about 7 o clock and you should come down for that if you can make it

“Saw it on Pinterest once” is da cheap midwesterners catch phrase

[Sypherz]

Someone driving my car called to tell me they clipped a deer, and the first thing I said after "are you ok?" was "make sure you bring back the deer!"

kind of sad that i’ve actually used the water bottle shower head
