Frugal Friday


My husband often ribs me about my couponing and deal seaking adventures. Want to know how I know he is really proud of me? I went to his work the other day and the women there were asking me how I do it. Apparently, even though he pokes fun of me in person, he's boasting about my achievements to his friends and co-workers. It makes me smile when I come home with bags of stuff for mere pennies and he wants details of each transaction. Well, wouldn't you know it? The other day he says to me "Hey, I've got something to show you that I think your frugal blog friends will find usefull!" Oh, ok... hmmmmm. So he pull up a post on one of the gun lover's forums he belongs to and shows me these videos:

6 Volt Battery Hack! You'll Be Amazed! -

12 Volt Battery Hack -

12 Volt Battery Hack! You'll Be Surprised... -

Crank Charge Your Batteries! -

So, there you go, frugal bloggers. I can't confirm or deny that these are true, but I thought it was funny that my darling husband wanted me to share this frugal find with you all.

I LOVE this. In fact, my kids were interested in seeing what made my jaw drop open like that, and they watched and loved it, too. They want to know if Daddy can bring home a couple big batteries for them to rip into. Thank your husband for us.

I only watched the first video, but according to Snopes, it is not true: http://www.snopes.com/photos/humor/batteryhack.asp

Yeah, Anonymous, I figured it wasn't true, but I still found it entertaining.
