Woman shares the good, the bad and the extreme ways her husband tries to save money in viral videos

A couple have gone viral on TikTok for sharing their household money-saving hacks — some of which have been described as extreme.

Amber Horne, a mother of five from Oregon in the United States, has been married to her husband John for 25 years, and throughout their marriage, he has taken some interesting cost-cutting measures.

Sharing these frugal tips with the more than 743,000 followers of her TikTok page, Amber has a series called "My husband is so cheap", which now has 39 parts.

Some videos show John confessing he removes the lightbulb out of their fridge, or walking on the outside of their carpets only so they don't wear down as quickly.

In one episode, which has over 1.7 million views, John reveals how to save on household electricity bills. Watch above.

John says "up to 25 percent" of electricity used — and billed for — is "wasted because of things that are plugged in that are not currently in use."

He advises to go around the house and unplug any unused electricity cables, which will save "a bunch of money."

Not all of the hacks seem to be welcomed by his wife, however, with one Mother's Day tip being the opposite of endorsed by Amber.

In episode 33, John says with a smile that he has given Amber various household appliances over the years that are "practical" for Mother's Day.

Amber jumps in and says these are "all things you should not get a woman for Mother's Day."

Captioning the post, Amber writes, "Please don't take his advice on this one :("

John even has a hack for toilet paper, which may come in handy lest another shortage happens.

According to John, the debate of how to put your toilet roll face-up or face-down has been settled.

"Toilet paper companies want us to put the roll over the top, so when you pull on it, all [this toilet paper] is wasted," he says.

Apparently, by "having [toilet paper] come out the bottom, it rips so much easier and there isn't a bunch of waste."

John claims research shows 30 per cent of money spent on toilet paper can be saved by this hack.

John's cost-cutting hacks seem to have worked throughout the Horne's 25-year marriage, with the duo happily raising five kids together.

Their son, Hunter, recently got married — perhaps the couple will share some wedding saving hacks soon.
