How far can you go to save an extra cent?

This post was inspired by a TV program which accidentally caught/got my attention last evening. The program was about people who exhibit extremely strange behavior in order to save an extra dollar. Honestly, I was shocked and depressed by the causes of such behavior.
For instance, the members of one family wash themselves in one bath, one after the other, without changing the water, and then use the water to wash their dishes. Another couples cleans their ears with one cotton swab; the guy uses one side, the girl, the another. There were a lot of people who wash paper napkins and use them several times.  There were more examples, each stranger than the other.
What else I found weird is that the people weren't poor. They were on both sides of the poverty line; in fact, some of them were rich.
What a bizarre psychological disease. Have you ever met something like this in your life?

Sometimes you can save a few cents, but it makes no sense.

This post was inspired by a TV program which accidentally got my attention last evening. The program was about people who have an extremely strange behavior to save an extra dollar. Honestly, I was shocked and depressed when the causes had been revealed.
For instance, one family washes in one bath, one after each other, without changing water after all they wash all their dishes. Another pair (family? Two of the family members?) cleans their ears by with one cotton stick - the guy uses one side, the girl another. There were a lot of people who wash paper napkins and use them several times and more and even more examples, one is stranger than the other. They keep getting stranger.
What else I found weird is that the people weren't poor. They weren't by on or over poverty line or over it, in fact, some of them were rich.
What a bizarre psychological disease. Have you met something anyone like this in your life?

That sounds so sad! Almost like hoarders - we have an entire TV program dedicated to this subject in the US.
