Mar 18, 2009 -- Clark's supply of Happy New Year 2000 napkins drying up
So just how much does Clark actually "walk the walk" when it comes to living cheaply?
Consider this: Leading up to the turn of the millennium, retail stores were stocking up on all kinds of Happy New Year 2000 party products for revelers. But those types of products are literally yesterday's news once the new year arrives.
Clark recalls being in a Sam's Club on Jan. 2, 2000 with his wife. He saw Happy New Year 2000 plates and napkins being unloaded for a dime a pack and he bought the entire inventory. Executive producer recently priced similar packs of discount napkins on the web for $9.99 each!
Nine years later, he's just now getting down to his last pack of Happy New Year 2000 napkins! He already used up all the plates about a year ago.
It's so Clark to have used these Y2K-branded napkins for the last 9 years. So does that make him crazy…or crazy like a fox?

Clark chic
I think it's great. At first, it's a good laugh, then it looks cheap for a while, but by now it's got to give folks a good laugh to break out the Y2K paperwear!
Clark's 2000 Napkins.....
Well, now I don't feel bad abut using napkins from my daughters' first holy communion - 15 years ago, graduation from high school 9 years ago etc.. Go Clark!!
Not bad even if you consider the true cost
A dime a pack compared to 9.99; just can't beat 99% off. Even if you decide to consider carrying costs (although I am sure he stuffed in the attic to save room AND make it a cheap insulation) or how much he would make with the money he spent (although he could get lucky with a penny stock).
Besides that, don't you know the pet dog is the best kind of free napkin??
Clark's Cheapness
I love to hear how Clarks squeeks when he walks and gets every penny's worth! Rock on Clark you are my hero!
right on
I thank you for the chuckle...right on, you keep on squeezing those pennies Clark.
napkins
Clark is crazy smart!
2K NAPKINS
I have a load of Birthday plates and Napkins that I use everyday and no one's having a Birthday Party. Our society is so wasteful and shallow at times.
Crazy
I think Clark should be more trendy. New napkins are cool.
Crazy like a fox
Sounds good to me!
Napkins
The next best thing to free from the fast food drive-up.
Good stuff
Hat's off Clark, That's why you are in the position you are in today and why I continue to listen!
