Sometimes, very inconspicuous details reveal the stinginess of the apartment's residents. Check if you have any of them.

Worn-out bedding

A quality bedding set is not cheap, so thrifty homemakers try to buy them less frequently, patching up sheets and duvet covers.

Thin and mismatched bedding also speaks of stinginess, as it quickly tears and loses its appearance. Don't skimp on a good set—it will last for many years and look like new.

Items from hotels

Towels with hotel monograms, slippers, sleep masks, and other hotel trinkets indicate that the apartment's residents try to save and make the most of the money spent on vacations.

Don't take these souvenirs—they don't cost much, but they will remind you not of a vacation but of unnecessary frugality.

Old items instead of proper cleaning supplies

Special cute cleaning cloths and towels are inexpensive but look much nicer than torn-up T-shirts.

By the way, these cloths are also much better at collecting dust. Remember that cleaning cloths should be disposed of in the trash.

Chipped dishes

It's not only a bad omen, but pitchers and plates with chips look unsightly and spoil the appearance of even the most charming kitchen. Yes, it's a shame to part with a favorite mug if only a small piece has chipped off. But consider it as an opportunity to go to the store and choose a new, even more convenient and stylish set of dishes.

A bag of bags

Sometimes, there are so many of them that it's unclear why they might come in handy. A box or shelf filled with bags looks very messy.

It's much better to get an eco-friendly shopper bag for groceries and use special tied bags for garbage.

Instant coffee and tea bags

These inventions at home indicate that the homemaker is not accustomed to pampering herself or her family. Tea bags have nothing to do with a real drink; they are made from tea waste.

And instant coffee is not a relative of coffee beans. Learn to take care of yourself and your loved ones by starting with the purchase of a good kettle, a French press, or a coffee maker.
