The article shares the story of a frugal UK mom known as @DiaryOfACheapskate, who gained attention on TikTok for her extreme money-saving meal hacks. She waters down her milk to save money on cereal, managing to remain mortgage-free. Her approach has drawn mixed reactions online, with many commenters expressing disgust and calling her actions sad or extreme. Despite the backlash, a survey indicates that frugality is viewed more positively now than in the past, illustrating a cultural shift towards accepting budget-friendly practices.
"I am trying to use less of the milk just to save a bit more money... I've been slowly watering it down a little bit more, and I can't really taste the difference."
"Life is too short to water down milk," a skeeved-out commenter reminded... "Somebody tell her the war is over," teased an equally nauseated naysayer.
