This Woman Uses Her Hair as Floss in the Name of Thrift

"I like to use hair over dental floss," said Wisconsin resident Kia Cambridge on last night's Extreme Cheapskates. "I know it sounds gross, but this just works. It's a great system." Yup. As systems go, it's up there with Dewey Decimal and that Of a Down.
Oh man, people are just the best.
And for her next trick-cum-system, Kia explains how she is able to spend a mere $10 a year on gum: by chewing a single piece over several days, and, when she isn't chewing it, storing it in the freezer "because it helps preserve the flavor." That seems like something she learned as a child from another child and just held onto. Toddlers over tastebuds.
