Cooking eggs on a car engine to save money

welcome back everybody to a brand new lush life video my name is leon i'm joined here by the illustrious mrs lush my co-host coincidentally my wife as well and we're excited to join you down this alley of cheapness today i know what you're gonna say don't tickle my knee oh no have we done this before something chief's i don't think that we have i think we've done something along these lines i don't know but you're gonna love this because no we definitely my wife is the ultimate cheapskate i know i've said no i'm not oh my god i mean she is what she is no she's like she's not she's kind of bougie but she also will she'll write like a 16-page email to all of her friends to gloat about saving 30 cents on a target i am not cheap however i do love a good sale she is yeah i've said i said this recently like you're the the perfect victim of sales psychology oh yeah i'll spend money to make money like just put up like uh just put up a generic like 50 off unlike the window and she'll buy the whole story oh you could just cross out the price and write it the same exact price in red and i'll buy it yeah yeah literally she is just the victim of sales psychology anyways we're gonna be going through some extreme cheapskates which is obviously it's a tlc show that's been around forever so we got some clips here and i'll be interested to see if these cheapskates pass my wife's frugalness test let's find out barber shop owner barry kozart lives in queens new york with his fiancee although his customers tolerate him cutting both hair and costs gabriella does not the writing to say ten pieces ten squares every day that's a daily routine portioned otp my man's ready for the pandemic i'll tell you right right now maybe this was wait is it locked up the toilet paper that's what i wanna know hold on let's find out i use uh 10 pieces 10 squares everything that's a daily routine sometimes like gabriella she's like no that's your name getting a little little argument over that if you're going to go a couple times i try to save as much as possible listen you are not allowed to have diarrhea in this man's house if you're a guest you get two squares gabriella gets two he gets six because he has ibs but if you get to the ten square limit you're wiping your ass with your hand i'm sorry and you can't even wash it in the sink because lord knows using water costs money oh definitely not yeah barry can be so cheap it drives me crazy barely leaves me with 10 pieces of toilet paper no now my payback you know what i'm not even pissed about this barry because i i i get so mad and this is a problem with a lot of females i think they'll go to the bathroom they'll like go in there they'll do they'll do their little dainty pee and then they'll go and take a [ __ ] half a roll of toilet paper and be like one dab and throw in the toilet and flush it it drives me insane you're not wrong but do you buy the toilet paper by proxy yes well no but like me i don't physically hit check out but i don't have any idea how much you go through of course i know i keep do i keep stocking the tp yeah okay all i'm saying is i you it's you do it by squares there's if you're not counting how many squares you're pulling like you leave the roll on this i think would be reasonable for a a female pee three squares tops i'm not trying to get my hand wet dude you pull it off it's first of all we get like 19 ply toilet paper you fold it over twice in a quick bump dude like it's insane i can only think i can't even definitely buy one scott or the um you know the generic brand from bj it's been 40 seconds i'm already heated and passionate about the toilet paper debate because this is very i just don't understand how he's married i i'm well i have to imagine 90 of the show is kind of like overkill scripted or whatever but leave him with absolutely nothing i'll use all of it just so he can see how it feels when you stranded on a toilet bowl so that's about a quarter of the amount you would use for one piss which is insane three like i honestly i've i've i've cleaned myself up after number two with like two squares what you got to be surgical baby listen i'm not trying to waste money you got to be surgical if there's anything i'm willing to waste money on it's wiping my ass hell yeah gabriella is the woman for me because she's not too hard on me she showed me a good time and i think she we're a perfect couple yeah it sounds like it she sounds incredibly happy for you like my own alcohol what when i had a ball if you uh buy liquor and biz it could run you up to 50 to 75 to 100 a night i'm not gonna argue with that all these ingredients here it's not more than like all right that's like prison brew right there i don't know it looks like something that like when i was i made a video on prison tick tock where they have to like make their own stuff it looks like he's in prison making some moonshine yeah [ __ ] the sugar and the candy it makes it really sweet it helps yeah oh tap water if i wanted to buy a real wine that'll be about 15 to 20 or more i'm actually doing this i'm actually curious a bottle of wine for 2.99 at trader joe's you can trader joe's has actually cost more it costs less than all those lemons and candy you just put in there uh these days yeah produce inflation hello listen let's not go there i said inflation jerome powell just said we have to eliminate the word transitory let's not go there transitory from our vocabulary we're all doomed i'm curious about i didn't know you could make out well i guess alcohol is sugar and water right my man he's kind of a chemist if he's doing this at home i'm curious to see how it comes out yeah she's fermented rome temperature and looks like a t hooch yeah he's making hooch so that that is literally how they make alcohol in prison poor bastard come on man barry has significantly trimmed down the 582 dollars the average couple spends on alcohol each year i'm sorry [Laughter] sorry the average couple five hundred and eighty two dollars a year i don't wanna let's pan over yeah let's not let's not look at where we fall on that scale oh boy oh boy though it's been a lot less lately but yeah yeah it's true yeah it's actual food costs which can eat up approximately 12 oh i can't imagine this man at the grocery store income that he finds hard to swallow do we want to go out to eat or are we going to come back home because i know usually you don't like to go out when there's food in the fridge how about we actually go out and eat listen i'm not even mad about that you got to understand like we both come from pretty frugal upbringings and i think it's i well i don't say for like responsibly frugal right and it's good to be frugal and not waste your money i think this is great but the whole point of the show is that they take it to such extremes it's absolutely bananas but you get leftover food in the fridge oh yeah man eat that leftover food before you go and blow a bunch of money on mediocre food with probably mediocre service because there's no employees to hire for restaurants right now don't get me down that rabbit hole either the great resignation no i know that the fourth industrial revolution the frogs are gay i know a lot of people that like won't even eat leftovers and that's like oh yeah so if you don't eat leftovers you ain't going to be okay with wasting the food or be like specifically yeah yeah i have leftovers who doesn't eat leftover that's some type of balls in golf to not eat two have leftovers so that like we can have it was cooked and it sat in the fridge for a night i can't touch it get over yourself i'll slap you in the pocket some stuff tastes better left over 100 soup pastas soups pizzas sure well maybe not pizza cold peaches cold pizza is a mean but it's definitely not better the second time around all right they're going out but rather than going out to eat barry has discovered a way to go out and then eat no it's going to be good for as little as 15 minutes can heat a car engine to temperatures of approximately 200 degrees as hot as most overtime they're mean they have the community ingredients on the engine he saves on home utilities like gas and electricity i'll cook that food i'm sorry saves on home utilities like gas what do you think's powering the goddamn car i know you think it costs less to heat up an engine to temperature in the cold weather as the engine's chugging gas than turning on a [ __ ] gas stove for three minutes for three cents absolute nonsense i'm pissed right now at least makes sense if you're gonna do it yeah cooking eggs sweetheart you know i know barry and i know how he is and well i can't i don't know why i expected something more than this gabriella you married him hates my cheap ways it's just like she know that's just how i am i just love saving money i love being cheap that's just me yeah he loves it he changed his cheapskate ways oh no and the hot dogs oh no hold on and the white bread oh no the kingpin lanes parking lot abandoned in the back of the minivan with some engine scrambled eggs dude you can't draw that better than that the producers and the writers of the show are absolutely genius he's capable of it ketchup packets you obviously stole from mcdonald's for sure not stole took extra we used to do that actually i had to go spend on a little bite when uh back in my bachelor days you know oh [ __ ] you know oh i mean my sister still does this day she has like a giant ziploc bag of like taco bell yeah chick-fil-a sauce yeah i have some barbecue you know some honey mustard you know when you're just really craving some chick-fil-a sauce you just go in your cabbage all right so wait are they doing a new person yeah so we're this is a bit of a compilation so we're transitioning to someone new this woman is on the bike she's like you i had to go spend on my little bike to get my workout on this accident getting on it and pedaling i'm just she at the start i get burning you feel burned i'm listening to my tunes she's like it just feels good to exercise and i just love it ten dollars a month for plenty probably two times a week all right thanks guys i appreciate it very much right now after six or seven visits i really like no chance i mean you're out of here bro you can do one workout if you want and then you're not going back but jenny wasn't here to demo the equipment i show it off to everybody whatever it is it makes me happy bye everybody going to gyms i just go to these sporting goods stores for about 45 minutes a day going to a gym paying for a membership i mean that's like 75 a month no it doesn't cost me a dime to work out in that sporting goods store i've always been really cheap and it's just kind of been something that i have always done i would love to know like this show's been going on for a long time and like obviously these people are probably pretty cheap in real life but a lot of the stuff i'm sure is created for the the entertainment value of the show i would love to be able to look at the list of things that were like actually like real and things they manufactured right we'll never know but that seems absurd the eggs thing has to be manufactured i refuse to believe that's real good feeling out of not spending a lot of money but yet still accomplishing whatever goal i have i absolutely hate spending money on things that i can't see the next day if it's gone on average most people yeah once twice a week it can cost 60 70 to fill up a tank and then you go home and park your car in the garage and you may not go nowhere so you just spent 60 dollars to sit but the next time you need to go somewhere but the gas stays in your car though if she even brings up like gas evaporating okay but tha it happens at such a slow rate comparatively to what she's oh yeah i refuse this woman's absolutely psychotic hey can i get three dollars and thirty six cents not worth the game no what does she need what is what is she me in high school no at least in high school i'm gonna tell you you at least put a five spot yeah five or ten spots that's all i had to spare at the time college i remember when like the the idea of filling up a gas tank was like whoa i cannot handle that right now so you do a 5 or 10 spot it's fine 330 though 336 36 that's right now probably about a gallon around where we are less than a gallon when it comes to gas gas is kind of like makeup you know less is more when you buy less you use less and you save more not not when i get gas i only get a gallon at a time one gallon of gas one gallon a day saves me money it restricts where i go yeah sure all right whatever lady holy crap whatever crazy she's a flight attendant keeps her traveling for 20 days a month but when she's not up in the air so just to clarify on that particular segment that woman's not frugal she's just an idiot she's not saving like when you buy you can buy three dollars now or thirty dollars now and you're gonna get the same amount of life out of that gas in your house right and the price might go up yeah if anything you should probably stockpile now as the price continues to rise so she's actually inversing herself her home is in dallas texas my mother used to say make sure you turn out the light before you leave the room and of course nobody pays attention to that until i started paying the bill before i leave i turn off all the electricity at the circuit breaker oh damn hit it even though i'm not using my appliances they're still sucking up electricity standby listen i would say oh but what about your fridge all right your fridge will stay cold for like six to eight dollars as long as you don't open it i mean that's insulated so far i'm okay with it i'm not willing to run that risk definitely not but i'm okay with it this is better than you've got like milk or meat in there better than car engine eggs or three dollars worth of gasoline time thinking you're saving money see sure they're coming up yeah yeah i'm sure there's something even worse circuit breaker though like you're not saving any more yeah whatever power you draw as much as 250 watts a day from major appliances by cutting the electricity to everything but the refrigerator okay okay so she keeps definitely saves an average of 30 a month on her electricity even more reasonable then when the passengers leave the plane i go through and check for a meal that's left by a pilot or a passenger there's really neat stuff here like all right now she's on this lady i love because you know me with my restaurant background you've talked about this i was the scrap king so yeah i'm taking a leftover sandwich half-eaten steak a little actually that's right i have probably buy proxy shared saliva with thousands of people definitely years of which is why my immune system is so strong quite frankly that was always my that was always my argument huh just exposing myself i have aids and herpes now but it's worth it yeah like ravioli pasta primavera stephanie's idea of fine those aren't even opening homes like that's nice we open up a refrigerator and it looks like a deli the food is perfect i'm saving myself about 15 on every meal yeah i like it so far she's the most recent yes they serve mixed nuts in main cabin they serve the regular nuts in this cabin they serve deeds [Laughter] how hard can i roll my eyes never miss an opportunity for a deez nuts god i am i was gonna say you know as a flight attendant there's no way she doesn't like you know get a lot of those pre-packaged foods and things like that yeah yeah sure sure i will say like when depending on the industry you work in food service or things where there's food like you when i was in the restaurant like i didn't barely spend money yeah no i barely spent money on food i'd like go to trader joe's buy like eggs and things to have at the house if i needed breakfast and then i would just like eat stuff at the restaurant scraps or free meals when i could get them stuff like that now if they're unopened you're not allowed to take them but of course if they're open i bag them up i bring them home i don't have to pay for them they're good for snacks they're expensive dude and they're really good for protein she's not wrong that's next yeah whether they're stale or good she will continue to eat them until they're all gone the covers that go on the airline pillows are thrown away at the end of the day most flight attendants don't want those dirty pillows but i found good use for them before i do anything i make sure that i boil them down all right these are the ones that have already dried what i do with it hold on hold on coffee filters yeah yeah 100 this is too far if you need to save money on coffee you're talking about what five bucks for a hundred coffee filters about that yeah think about the amount of time it takes to do that you're just you could spend that time doing something different using water using electricity to boil the water a lot of people that are like overly cheap or frugal don't understand is opportunity cost right where like the amount of effort and time it takes you to save like three dollars on something if you spent that same amount of time on something that could generate revenue sure imagine that imagine the things you could do is i cut them little triangles they make voila the perfect coffee filter imagine that every good deal is not a good deal the airline throw them away they throw them away for a reason these pillowcase coffee filters save stephanie about six dollars a year and she said worth it oh no oh wow what a [ __ ] bargain dude yeah just steal all the pillows you got to dispose the pillows but you save the linens boil them chop them up save myself six bucks in a year i mean it's one thing when it's out of necessity like you don't have any money you're not employed or whatever the situation may be she's going to be employed ensure the husband's got a job she can't afford coffee filters yeah something else maybe even more with the pillows themselves oh what i've determined is to make the perfect fluffy pillow you need four little airline pillows stephanie has what i thought from a distance looks like a nice blanket into a close investigation it's a bunch of little airline blankets or something she took and she sold them together gray airline blankets on the top i'm not sleeping on that i don't think it's a good idea because other people have been on blankets you don't know what they've been doing and on the inside i made my comforter filling with airline pillows nice i tolerate stephanie being tight being i'm not the per i never have a problem with like it's not about germs or i don't care about that stuff it's literally just about time and looked like absurd absurdness here we go new guy hey welcome back new cheapskate just dropped who doesn't have a good rest of your day okay it's a door guy oh he's stealing he's taking is he gonna smell the cushion smell the seat see if she see if she sometimes the tenants in this building will drop stuff and it's you know kind of good to double check that's i don't know what you're gonna get oh a nickel [Music] got a nickel got a quarter what did you watch this no i have not watched this i just like that's they'd go nickel right holy crap that's so funny as the doorman concierge in new york city i have the key to the city not really sorry you got the key to loser town being a doorman it's freebie land like 100 i've never approached a tenant uh to ask for anything it's just my charm i've given rj mostly clothes uh pants uh some running sneakers okay all right now i look like derrick on the weekends you know it is what they say one man's trash is another treasure sure the average rent to live in manhattan is around thirty nine hundred i managed to dollars rent free in new york for the past two years but wow uh it's probably more than that now quite frankly i don't know when this was filmed uh 39 averaging yeah probably more not how is he living for free do tell i'm not homeless i have a lot of homes right now i'm staying rent-free at a beautiful home in the upper west side wait how is this instead of renting or subletting or whatever these other people do i've managed to live rent free like from place to place i mean i do not sublet i know let's i get it so you just don't know the average american moves twice a decade right rj typically house sits in over 50 places each year and after three months in this loft today is moving day he lives out of uh i use this car to kind of go from place to place to place you know when i'm house sitting or cat i mean if you guys home yes but not like homeless like in the like in the traditional sense of what you would think of a homeless person but if you're like hustling and you're trying to make it in the big city like oh okay like as long as you have a goal here not just to like you don't want to just like work as a doorman and just do this for your whole entire life with your hotel car like if you're in there hustling like trying to get into some industry or something maybe i could see that if you're at that point of your life where you need to hustle and you don't have to pay rent somehow that's like a game changer you can use that money to invest in yourself or whatever your business you're trying to run but still getting over the top plan sitting i'm sure that i just kind of have this with me and all my stuff's in here all the gear and clothing and stuff for work are going to be over here and then i have like my photos he's got a little like everywhere that i'm at feel like personalized section i'm not supposed to use a kitchen in my mobile contraption i've got it all taken care of oh there you go everything on this card goes with me everywhere this is the most interesting one so far when you try to push the mobile card around new york city if that's not fun that's not easy like this guy i believe like this i get every look in the world cars honk at me all the time [Applause] i've had my own i mean new york too nobody would think i keep it hey rj i've been to places that i don't even think are on the map really quick the brief rundown um this is the rabbit his name is sir winston winston okay i prefer to have somebody stay in my house whenever i leave town in case an emergency happens someone breaks in there's a small fire it's not bad on site can take care of it so winston needs the utmost thank you r.j okay bye bye just have some respect sure my no-let lifestyle affects the personal and social aspects of who i am like tremendously i mean yeah that's gonna say you're not bringing many bitties back to the crib huh unless you're staying in the mansion and then i feel like you could pass it off as your own for a good ruse and then get out of there clean it up you know i don't even have a permanent place to live that's the sacrifice that doesn't allow me to say hey everybody let's come to rj's place you know let's have a nice dinner party or whatever there's certain bonds that i maybe won't have with other people because i don't live the same life they do okay silly rabbit here we go okay okay baby that was it that was a nice kind of a healthy uh sampling of different cases there yeah i would say rj the last one there was like it was crazy but it it seemed at least served a purpose to not have to pay rent in new york if you're on on the grind set okay i'll let you get away with it the car engine eggs mean that's couldn't be real and then uh airline pillow comforter no coffee filters she was okay to begin with like leading up with the nuts and like saving some subs or whatever the coffee filters to save six bucks a year subs go f yourself yeah take some frozen lettuce and pickles please all together though how do we feel about that do you compare do you think they passed the the cheapness test oh yeah i think oh yeah i think probably we need to do like extreme couponers because that would hit more closer to home for you if we do an extreme couponers one because you're basically getting some tips i'm not an extreme coupon you can't even put me in the same categories yeah whatever makes you sleep at night i'm just kidding but thank you that was fun for me i know it's always good to check in on this epi this series and i appreciate you guys for watching along with us uh we do love you for it and i hope you like and subscribe and hip thrust all that good stuff and we'll see oh that's a mate channeling sorry i get carried away oh yeah you know we'll see in the next video deuces
