CHEAPSKATE
I never wash my clothes – I just shower with them on… people think it’s crackers but it saves me at least £12 a week
Gregg shared a tip for saving money in the loo
A MEGA cheapskate has revealed that he takes showers with his clothes on, in order to save money on doing the laundry.
31 year old Greg, from Ohio, USA, said that washing his clothes in the shower with him saves about £12 a month as he doesn't have to use a washing machine or tumble dryer.

When he's having a wash, he lathers his clothes up with shower gel and washes them alongside his body.
Greg keeps a bucket in the shower which he uses to catch all of the excess water from his soaking wet clothes.
Then, at the end of the week, when he's ready to flush the toilet (yes, he only flushes it once a week) he pours the bucket down the loo, and this acts as a flush.
"This way, I'm not wasting any water", the extreme budgeter told TLC.
Gregg said that he saves about £20 a month from not flushing the toilet.
Showering with his clothes on isn't the only thing Greg does to save money, he also drinks out of yoghurt pots instead of glasses and uses old newspaper to wipe his bum.
"You might get some ink on your bum, but nobody's going to see that", he said.
He also uses paper plates that he got free from his nephew's birthday to eat his dinner off.
