In this episode, we explore the world of our parents' thriftiness.

Our host and guests, including @大米 and @小满, share humorous and eye-opening stories about their parents' frugal habits. From saving washing machine water for flushing toilets to repurposing crab strings for bundling newspapers, these tales highlight the innovative, albeit quirky, ways our elders save and reuse. The discussion takes a serious turn with @仙姑 highlighting the health risks associated with extreme frugality, like eating spoiled leftovers.

This episode offers a heartwarming and enlightening look at the generational differences in understanding and valuing thriftiness.

What is your own stories of your parents' unique thriftiness ?
