In tonight’s So Freaking Cheap episode, there are just some people that are too cheap for words. The Watson family has Shelley and she’s planning a wedding on less than a thousand dollars. She has the bride reusing a wedding dress. She was shopping for the reception dinner at a discount grocery store and she was centering the whole reception after cucumbers because she saw a great deal with the vegetables.
There were eight cucumbers for a dollar. She bought a bunch of them and she didn’t care if some people didn’t like cucumbers. That’s what she was serving. The guests could either take it or leave it. Shelley was shopping at the discount store while her daughter and the daughter’s fiancé decided to splurge on their wedding rings. They didn’t want to reuse wedding rings. They wanted their own wedding rings and so they spent close to five hundred dollars just for the rings alone.
The young couple said they weren’t going to tell Shelley. Shelley would freak if she saw the price and so they agreed to lie if she asked. They were going to tell her they got it for five dollars. Then there was the Guiles Family. Jay Guiles had to put his foot down with his wife and they ultimately agreed to let her spend a thousand dollars on their renovations. His wife Becky didn’t want to spend the money.
She hated the idea of spending money and this was going on before they were married. Becky spent as little as possible at their wedding. She bought stuff from other weddings and then sold it all after her own wedding. What she didn’t buy, she DIY’d. Becky was dirt cheap. She even wanted to go back on their deal to spend a thousand dollars to fix up the house.
Becky later went shopping for furniture to make their house a home. She hated how expensive the second-hand furniture was and she tried to convince the person she was shopping with that they could grab something from the trash and just tell Jay they bought it. Becky was so cheap that it was affecting her marriage. Her husband told her that she has to spend money or else there was going to be a serious problem between them and she still tried to be cheap.
Then there was the Tran family. Charisma told her very cheap mother that she wanted to be a model and so her mother agreed to pay for testing photos. Only she found the cheapest photographer she could. She found a guy who takes photos of dogs for a living and then she set up the photographer.
The family brought the dog with them. They let the photographer believe that he was just taking photos of the dog and then the mother sorta snuck in Charisma. Charisma took photos with the dog. Right away, the photographer suspected something was up. He still took the photos and afterward Rosemarie asked him if he would do more photos of Charisma.
She wanted the same price as the dog photos and so he told her that he would have to think about it. The photographer wasn’t used to taking photos of people. He was used to pets. He told Rosemarie he’ll think about it but the woman really needs to find an actual photographer to photograph her child. Charisma wants to be a model. She needs a photographer who will put her in the best light. Not the family dog and not for pennies.
Shelley is still taking things to the extreme. She was catering the bachelorette party and so she bought those cake mixes for cheap and she used a bear shape pan for the cake so that she could have the right angles to manipulate it into a penis cake. The decorations were also coming cheap. The bride’s sister Ashley was on decorations and she was using her old boxes of condoms for balloons as well as remaining penis straw from her own bachelorette party. Ashely is trying for kids with her husband. It’s why she doesn’t need the condoms anymore and it was better to use them for something because they were expiring either way. Ashley and Shelley were giving the cheapest bachelorette party possible.
Meanwhile, the Clayton family was going to therapy. Angela was tired of Tony’s cheapness and his tailgate party was just it for her. She needed him to change. She brought him to therapy and the therapist asked Tony why was he so cheap. Tony revealed this fear of going broke. He’s had this fear since childhood because he watched both of his parents struggle to pay the bills and sometimes they failed.
They were times when the family had to sleep out on the steps to save money. Tony never wants to go back to those days and at the same time, he never told Angela why he was the way he was. She was shocked that he had been homeless. She realized how much pain he was in and that made her understand him a little more.
Tony also agreed in therapy to try and ease his cheapness. He was a good man at heart. He wants his wife and daughter to be happy and so he was going to try and ease up on the wallet. Tony was doing what he could to protect his family and his cheapness came from a good place. The Tran on the other hand went cheap for cheap for Charisma. They got the dog photographer.
They also created a dress for her made out of the trash and it’s a good thing too because it fits their destination spot for the photo. They went to the junkyard for the photo. It was free and they were pretended they were going after a grunge look. Charisma even had her hair and makeup was done in the back of the SUV. The whole thing cost $350. It also helped that Charisma is a beautiful young woman and made the trash dress work for her.
Shelley’s daughter Brittney actually broke down in tears about her wedding because she said it didn’t feel like her wedding. It felt like it belonged to her mom and her mom’s $750 budget. Britney cried to her sister Ashley and Ashley was there to cheer her up. The two also laughed about the watered-down alcohol. Their mother watered all of the alcohol so that everyone didn’t get drunk and so that she could save money. The entertainment was also free. Ashely had her husband give her sister a lap dance. And it was fun for everyone.
THE END!
