Frugal & Cheapskate Hats

r/Frugal has about 6.6 million members, which makes frugality less a hobby than a flag people fly. The habits are specific: wash and reuse the Ziploc bags (sturdy freezer bags survive several rinses, and the ones that held raw meat are the exception), and keep washed butter and margarine tubs of leftovers in the fridge, the Southern household joke known as free Tupperware. Then come the parent catchphrases. Money doesn't grow on trees is a documented folk proverb studied by a university folklore archive, and "You don't need name brand, it's the same thing" sits on YourTango's list of what frugal parents said. These frugal hats put the badge and the catchphrases on a brim. Two head-term badges, FRUGAL and CHEAPSKATE, cover what people type into the search box. The sentence designs carry the in-group lines, from I WASH ZIPLOC BAGS to the hedge CHEAP IS A STRONG WORD I PREFER FRUGAL. The collection sits apart from No Buy 2026, which is a one-year challenge, and from Thermostat War, which owns the heating bill. This is the cheapskate of the kitchen. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Wear one proudly, or give it to the person who has lived with your habits for years.
