Dumpster-diving accountant: I've saved a fortune

senorwipesalot

A frugal woman dumpster-dives for all her food and doesn't use toilet paper in order to save money.

Kay Hashimoto, of New York City, refuses to buy toilet paper because she has to throw it away after using it, so she washes herself off after doing her business by using soap, and she also scrubs her clothes in the shower with free detergent to avoid doing laundry.

The Certified Public Accountant – who is aiming to save up $250,000 (€192,262) by next year – told the New York Post: "If I took a dump then I also grab soap, wipe myself down with the soap, then I take the water and rinse off the soap.

"I don’t believe in spending money on something that you’re just going to throw away such as toilet paper or paper towels.

"Whenever I have dirty clothes I try to wash them while I’m showering. Today I’m using a free sample of detergent I got.

"Once I’m done showering then I lather up the clothes. I think the last time I did laundry was maybe three years ago."

Overall, Hashimoto's monthly spend includes nothing on clothing, 17 cents on toothpaste and $15 (€11.54) on food, while she puts $4,000 (€3,076) into savings an $1,000 (€769) into a financial plan.

De durty bitch.

Maybe she wipes a lot more then you..

I don't think I've ever heard of someone living such a miserable existence as that by choice.

She may not realise it but I'd hazard a guess there's a mental health issue that isn't being looked after.

Just thinking about it again.. What is she saving for? She obviously doesn't want to spend any money.. What's the point?

Would you hire an accountant that eats from bins and doesn't wipe her arse?

So, you wipe (a lot, presumably) and she showers, but she´s the dirty one...?

Married to a multi-billionaire is my guess.

Would she not just use a some type of reusable cloth to wipe her hole?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

if you eat a healthy diet you dont really need to wipe much anyway so a bit of warm water and soap would probably do the trick just a well

"wipe myseld down with the soap" so she scrapes her arse clean using a bar of soap and then gives it rinse, dear lord.

She was on TLC channel last night on the premiere episode of a new TV show called 'Extreme Cheapskate'.

Is she not wasting electricity and water showering every time she goes for a poo?
I mean, one 9 pack of loo roll in Aldi is 1.27 and taking a shower every day is considerably more than that. She'd also have to have the shower running even longer to properly rinse her clothes.

Reality TV programme pokes fun at mentally ill. That really shouldn't sound so familiar.

senorwipesalot

In the video the soap looks like Blutac.(1.15)
WTF?

could she not take a dump at work like everyone else, or poo at Pauls house

Where To

I think it's a common trait among accountants.

The man who used to do my books lived on half a tomato a day, he's dead now, poor bugger. He was useless at figures but wasn't hard to pay.:(

How long does she spend per day rooting through bins for food and how much money would earn if she just worked overtime for that length per day?

If she's an accountant on a good salary I seriously doubt that rooting through bins is more productive than working overtime and using that money to buy food. And that makes her both a bad accountant and a retard.

most people don't have the option of overtime and have contracts which prevent them from taking up a second job

The sad thing is she's hot as well.

Spot on. From the Daily Mail (sorry!):

Ms Hashimoto told the New York Post: 'I’ve always been frugal, but it was when I was laid off in the dot-com crash that I became extreme.
'No job is guaranteed, so I live as if I could be fired at any time.'

Therein lies the reason for her extreme behaviour I think. The woman should be pitied and needs psychological help more than being vilified and laughed at.

Not that that'll stop people here though :rolleyes:

Come off it.

The point is that she's taking home more than $60k per year, and she's a small single person. Her monthly food bill would be covered by what she earns in literally a few minutes work per day. But instead she's going out and spending probably half an hour to an hour rooting through bins, wasting energy, getting dirty and degrading herself. It doesnt add up by any rational logic.

You go right ahead and wash your face with her arse soap then. We won't stop you.

To be fair there are alternatives to wiping, like the Japanese way. Soap just doesn't add up though...

Definitely, if she has a nice ring to her name.

No thank's I'm ass-uming :pac: she would keep that bar only for that purpose and wouldn't leave anyone else use it to wash with!

I always thought soap made from babies was the most sterile you could get. Must research more into the Eva Braun brand I import from Argentina

Nothing to fear in the link, promise.

They're actually brilliant. Much better health wise and environmentally than pads or tampons and they work out much much cheaper. €25 for one that lasts 10 years versus €3/4 a month for tampons/pads.
