Cutting down the household budget is a common goal as the cost of living soars, but one mum's decision to start using rags instead of toilet paper is taking penny pinching too far for some.

In the accompanying caption, she said she's saved £77, or around $150, since making the switch, even though her husband and guests are still using paper, for now.
