Not a Rex! This man and his wife were featured on TLC's Extreme Cheapskates, and this is one of the tactics he uses to control household expenses. From the story:
>A man goes to such extreme lengths to save money he even reuses his own mouthwash, with his wife branding him a total ‘cheapskate’. Kristina and Mason Roberts, from the US, live on a strict budget, with Mason watching every single penny - which includes keeping tabs on his wife’s spending.
>The pair appeared on TLC’s Extreme Cheapskates, with Mason revealing the shocking lengths he goes to to save 11p (15 cents). He shows off a giant bottle of mouthwash to the camera, and after taking a swig he spits it into another bottle to save for later. After doing the calculations, Mason said: “It just seemed like such a waste to only use mouthwash once when it’s antiseptic anyways.
>“There’s 30 uses in that big mouthwash, and about 30 cents (22p) a use, but if I reuse it a second time that gets it down to 15 cents a use because I’ll have 60 uses. I just keep two bottles, one with the brand new stuff one with the once-used stuff. She doesn’t like to do what I do, but I think it’s great.”
i mean it makes sense trying to be niggardly, also it most likely owould have a similar effect you can only produce so much spit to dilute the mouthwash once
