What's the strangest thing your spouse has ever done to save money.

Oh, my goodness! Please, go sit down! Don't listen to him. I could barely walk when I was 9 months pregnant, much less stand 20 minutes to wash dishes. Let him rant. Let him rave. Then go do what's best for you and your baby. How does he think that he's going to get it any cheaper than one cent! Paper plates are one cent each locally (pack of 100 for $1.00). Do what I do when my husband does acts silly like that and puts unreasonable demands on me. Put his dish into the fridge after every meal, and serve his food on it every time without washing it off. And, if he complains, give him the option to wash his own plate. You are in a special situation, so he should understand that you are thinking more about your health and your baby's health, than saving a penny or two. We can't leave the thinking to the guys, or they will have us doing even stranger things than use plastic plates.

ha ha ha... I cannot help but laugh at the response. That is one heck of an innovative way to put a point across! If he is able to take the hint, that is fine. But if he thinks you are trying to be mean to him, it will really blow a top or two. I rather sit my spouse down and explain my difficulty in the situation rather than invoke a fight to put a point across.
