To those who've been raised by very frugal or cheap parents, what were some of the things that you did while you're growing up that makes you cringe these days? Mine was whenever we're having pancakes or waffles, she would put pour back the leftover syrup on our plates back to the syrup bottle.

ermanw4 did you do the same thing once you're living by yourself already or you just made sure that you poured the right amount on your pancakes and waffles?

My mom only puts water on my oats and cereals. I honestly don't know if we were that poor or if she was lazy to buy as milk.

It wasn't because they're cheap, but more of being practical. I can only have toys as gifts during my birthday and Christmas.

I'm thinking those bottle of syrups has mixed saliva on it and It's pretty nasty putting the excess back in the bottle.

Ordering a regular hamburger instead of going for cheeseburgers. I become cranky sometimes if it's always a regular burger.

My parents also like me to used clothes given by my aunts and cousins. It even got a picture from a movie that is classic and was ashamed that my friends will think of me as old haha.

I wish your parents didn't teach you to dumpster dive and get expired food which is still safe for consumption and that's what my friend does when he's broke.
