The couple, who were featured on Extreme Cheapskates on TLC, are so stingy they refuse to shell out cash for a telephone, a television or even new clothes for their children. 

And when it comes to eating, they delight in tucking into a delicious meal made from fresh roadkill.

As the family enthusiastically hunts for animal corpses they chant: "Here we go for roadkill.

"Here we go for roadkill Eat meat."

John told TLC: "My mission is to find good roadkill.

"If it's fresh and good, well, I'm a butcher. I have no problem eating something fresh and good."

Vicky added: "It saves me hundreds of dollars."

"Furs are expensive, but if you can find it along the road, it can be a lot cheaper."
