"I Hope Its Not A Bedbug": Woman Bargains Over Used Motel Sheets & Filthy Bed | Extreme Cheapskates

[Music] joseph and i have been together romantically for three years [Music] and he just recently left [Music] i love monique and one of the main things that keeps me away is her obsession with cheap and free things and i really want to get him back los angeles substitute teacher money clubs earns close to 2 400 monthly but her decision to live on only 600 of that has taken its toll on her love life we were gonna get married but as of now like i wouldn't because she needs to have more balanced priorities i have an obsession for free things cheap ocd this is la and everyone drives but monique has hardly driven because it's too expensive other things monique would do to save a buck are live in an apartment without a real bed at the moment i need to blow air in my bed i don't want to spend electricity on blowing up the air and besides it's like a workout the fact that she won't you know take the step to put in real mattresses [Music] that is one of the reasons that i um broke up with her but if i bought a bed it would probably be about a thousand dollars i'd have to get movers i've moved all around los angeles looking for a better deal so i keep all my belongings in boxes so that at a moment's notice i can just up and go all her stuff gets piled up in boxes and it gets pretty ridiculous i check out to see if there is a cheaper place that i can live in than here this is a great deal but there's always something cheaper with eight moves in the last seven years monique has saved over seven thousand dollars moving her belongings herself i can fit all my possessions in one car in less than 15 minutes this is where i keep some electronics shoes clothes meat is expensive and so is dairy that's why i eat raw vegetables i don't have to cook it no energy is going into it i don't have to refrigerate most of my stuff one time she had me go to an orange grove to pick oranges because she wanted us to live on free oranges most of the contents of my refrigerator are non-perishable right now it's completely dry goods monique only runs her refrigerator for seven hours a week by conserving that energy she saves 120 dollars each year instead of brushing my teeth with toothpaste i use an implant this is my favorite little plant it's so healthy for a person i chew the leaves every day as part of my hygiene i'll even rub it against my gums to prevent any bleeding and take off some plaque and they shine up really nice [Music] by giving up dental hygiene products monique holds on to another 68 dollars a year some people think that my behavior is over the top but i'm gonna do everything i can to win joseph back monique has been my first and only girlfriend so i'm willing to give her one more chance i'm going to accept this challenge but that doesn't mean that i'm going to break the bank joseph's first priority is a new bed which has monique on the hunt for an economical solution that can satisfy them both we are going to a rummage sale at one of the schools that i substitute teach at oh i brought my change nice wow there's a lot of good stuff here quick question for you the mattresses so how much they're 20 each they're pretty messed up monique 20 for one mattress is just out of the question i would like to get two of them for eight dollars each [Music] two all right and then we'll get this mattress and you guys can get out of here [Music] uh i'm looking for some fabric well we've got lots of that tell me flat out how much is that originally and you're saying it's 50 off right it's 40 off so that would be about 450. well i'm going to need a bunch of them so 450 is gonna be a little high for what i have in my uh-huh pocketbook well these are ones that are fairly old and i've had them for a while so i could i could maybe sell them to you for three dollars a piece i think i'm gonna need about six to eight of them um can i get eight fabrics anywhere here for 10.63 we have fabric for 40 off some of it's 50 off none of that would do for her she had to have the bargain of the century i would give you six of these six is not bad for you know for 10 63 that's yeah i think she was being respectful but she was not at all at least the guy she was with had some respect you're paying about half what i paid for the product so please don't give me any more guff on this she was the cheapest customer i think i have ever encountered i hope she never comes back i know that this cheapness it runs deep in her and it'll be a hard thing for her to overcome i called earlier and your wife said that you had some spare sheets i'm excited i didn't even mention a price he's just gonna give them to us what is that i hope it's not a bed bug you you you're you don't have bed bugs here do you go let's take the sheets well thank you so much
