Hilary Swank uses money off vouchers when she goes shopping.Although the Oscar-winning actress is financially secure and lives in a Los Angles mansion, she doesn't see why she should have to pay full price for something if she doesn't have to, as she has always been taught the value of money.
The 36-year-old beauty - who grew up on a trailer park - said: "I would use a coupon - just because I have some money now, I wouldn't? That doesn't make sense to me. I see it as a dollar in my pocket. People around me laugh, because I have a deep understanding of what a dollar gets you and how far to make that dollar go.
No wonder my closet is a hodgepodge. I have everything from Louboutins to Gap. You don't have to have a brand name to be stylish. You can mix it together and it works.

As well as still using vouchers to go shopping, the 'Conviction' star also revealed how her upbringing has made her appreciate the good things and not let the bad times bring her down.
She told InStyle magazine: "You hear people say, 'Oh, I didn't get that bonus,' or, 'I got fired.' And look, I've experienced not getting that bonus and I've gotten fired. I feel it and say, 'That sucks.' I get depressed. I cry. I have feelings. I don't gloss over them. But then, after that, I pick myself up, brush myself off and say,' Why did this happen? What am I supposed to learn?'"
