I buy used golf balls off the internet

I was so bad and lost so many, i played with cut balls! (Golf balls that is)

I’m so cheap I still reload 9mm instead of buying new .

I used to buy my balls from a young lady who raided the local courses at night searching for lost balls. She found lots of them. I'm sure I bought some of them more than once.

I no longer play due to back pain, but it was good to get Titleists for about a third the price of new ones. On a side note I once played with a guy who pronounced Titleist as tit-least. I'm still not sure if he was trying to be funny or he really didn't know how to say it.

Well I've been known to spend hours making a small part I could buy for $10-$20. And I'll always try to fix something I could replace cheap just to save a buck, or see if it can be repaired. I really hate our current throwaway society, so even items made to be tossed I try to fix before tossing.

My father sold his balls at an Amish based sale every week. i asked him what the Amish did with golf balls. He told me they didn't...but he sold all kinds of horse medicines etc. He was a licensed horse trainer and surprise to me they bought lots of things to make their horses go faster. They raced 'em and bet too. I don't know who bought his balls though... but I know where found them. He had 100s.good ones...and bad

I too like to try to fix things before throwing them away. A couple years ago I needed a 1/4 inch with a larger outside diameter than a normal 1/4 inch washer, couldn't find one in my stash. I could have driven 2 miles to the hardware store and bought a fender washer, instead I took a quarter out of my pocket and drilled a 1/4 hole in the center, instant washer.

An old mechanic told me of drilling copper pennies to make copper washers in long ago times.

Thrift stores are a bargain and can have high quality.
We reuse paper plates if not dirty.
A former colleague said in jest that you can use a condom twice if you turn it inside out. I hope he was kidding!

As far as making race horses go faster, old cajun trainer told me he would squirt a tube of Ben Gay up the horse's rear-would make them go like lightning! Said it was cheap and would nor show up unless the stewards would go butt sniffing or sniffing piles of road apples after the race. He was dead serious

A quick shot of gasoline in the rear orifice will also produce an amazing burst of speed until the animal "runs out of gas".

Luckily, I stocked up before the Covid plandemic.
At that time .45 ACP ball ammo was 35¢ each and coated SWC reloads were 13¢ each. It adds up quick.

Old joke alert!

A priest is walking on the sidewalk and spies a boy sitting on the curb holding a vial up to the sun.

"What have you there, son?"

"The most powerful liquid on earth".

"Holy water is the most powerful liquid on earth. Two drops of this and a person will pass through the Pearly Gates."

"This is turpentine. Two drops of this on a cat's *** and it will pass a Harley."

I don’t know if you’d call it cheap but I bought a ten year old F150 and drove it 19 more years as my only driver.

I wouldn't call it cheap; you bought a typical Ford...that's smart.

I know I'll catch hell for this, but I haven't bought a new tire in 20 years.
I do my research, only buy well respected brand and model tires that fit my driving style, and know how to read the date code so I don't buy something that looks good but is too old.
I've bought clothes from Goodwill.
When my good t shirts get ragged I wear them under sweatshirts in cold weather and save the good ones for warmer weather.
I once had enough fast food salt packets to fill a salt shaker

 

[Wrangler Rich]

I'm not cheap, I'm frugal......
I quit smoking when the price jumped up to 50 cents a pack...
Old T shirts become gun rags, of course I re-load everything, and work on all my vehicles. But, I draw the line at single ply TP !
