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.

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 … [Read more...] about I won’t spend a penny I don’t have to, I won’t have my car fixed and I reuse mouthwash to save money

Gerhard Richter’s landscape paintings shown at the Kunstforum Vienna
Landscapes have always fascinated Gerhard Richter in his work. No other motif appears to have enthralled the artist quite as much throughout his career. Born in Dresden in 1932, he has drawn inspiration for his landscape paintings from magazines or amateur photographs, using broad brush strokes to create mountain views in black and white and views of lakes full of subtle color. Together, these landscapes are all part of a panorama of landscapes that have long come to form a particular group of works in Richter's oeuvre. The Vienna Kunstforum museum now presents a retrospective of Richter's landscapes from October 1 through February 14, 2021.
