Meet woman who pees in a jar and refuses to shower at home to save money on her water bill

She shows of her shiny bathtub which she claims she has never cleaned because it is never used.

"I have a gym membership and that's where I take my shower, I'm kind of a gym rat, I'm there every day anyway," she explained.

Hunt admits that peeing in a jar beside her toilet can leave a "pungent smell" but that it seemed like the best option when she learned that she could use urine on her compost pile.

"I thought, 'Wow, I can pee in a jar, build my compost and not have to flush the toilet,'" she said.

Hunt claimed that she saves $10 a month by cutting down on the number of times she flushes, but draws the line at any attempt to also use excrement on the compost heap as well.

The pee jar also remains at home as when she needs to flush while she's out and about, she's "not concerned with other peoples' water bill."

As well as cutting down on her water use, Hunt's other cheapskate activities involve monitoring her electric meter each morning and marking the units used in her master spreadsheet.

She also keeps a timer on her refrigerator so that it shuts off for half the day, hitting back at people who claim she runs the risk of meat going bad.

"I've never seen it happen," she claimed.

And Hunt's home remains a time warp, as she refuses to replace any of the 1961 appliances in the home – that's if she even runs the risk of plugging them in and using any power.

"I absolutely get results," Hunt believes of her constant efforts to save a buck.

"If we don’t want something but don’t want to throw it away, we set it by the garbage can or at the end of the street.

"They’ll put out a stereo or a vacuum cleaner. Instead of buying a new one and burning the oil to make that stuff, I take it home, clean it and use it."
