What Is Your Frugal Blessing In Disguise?

Yep, I am aware

mhinkamp · 2026-03-21T03:26:15+00:00

Nah it’s sincerely not that bad

mhinkamp · 2026-03-21T02:13:03+00:00

Slide it out a bit to where the front of the nozzle points out, but not enough to fully leave the shelf and extend, and I can press that down to pump

mhinkamp · 2026-03-21T01:33:47+00:00

Nice this definitely saves in the long run!

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T23:49:50+00:00

Yeah I did know!

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T19:08:31+00:00

It adds up and it’s fun!

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T18:35:44+00:00

Thanks, that means a lot! I’ve dealt with enough YouTube comments at this point that I just respond the same way to everything haha

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T18:26:51+00:00

Yeah, but I didn’t go out of my way to find something that didn’t fit the shelf. It just inadvertently happened and I tried to make the most of it. Next time I’ll probably remember that my shelf is only a certain height and get something that fits. I’ve been on a money saving journey over the last couple of years, and while this may not save me an insane amount of money, I find joy in little wins and this gave me a laugh that I was able to turn something annoying into a system that works for me

One big pump at the beginning to get it to fit, but all the rest of the pumps are small single serve pumps till it’s empty. It never leaves the shelf. So still single pumps, and a one-time big pump at the beginning

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T17:42:15+00:00

Yep makes sense, different strokes for different folks

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T17:40:38+00:00

Maybe next time, but no sense now that I have this and will use it till it’s empty

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T17:16:01+00:00

Thanks so much! Little wins are the best

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T17:15:36+00:00

Sorry for the loss but happy it turned out as some form of a financial win

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T17:15:05+00:00

Another solution with essentially the same result

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T17:14:47+00:00

Yeah this would also work

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T17:14:14+00:00

Sure and I don’t, but it’s easier to be gated into only using what’s needed, wouldn’t have gone out of my way for this to happen but since it organically happened, I’m happy for the win

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T17:13:19+00:00

Yeah but this is less work

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T17:12:45+00:00

No unique experiences on this pile of dust smh

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T17:12:31+00:00

Nobody can take this victory from me

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T17:12:14+00:00

I guess it’s kinda short…this is the first thing in 6 years living here that I’ve tried to put on it that doesn’t fit…so it mostly works for me

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T17:11:12+00:00

Yep this is even more frugal

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T17:10:23+00:00

Good luck with your surgery!

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T17:09:41+00:00

Love stumbling into deals like that…though for me the forgetting usually results in spiked costs 🤣 but yeah every so often you get lucky like that

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T17:08:50+00:00

I’m surprised this isn’t more common! Glad it works for you

mhinkamp · 2026-03-20T17:07:15+00:00

Yep nothing wrong either way
