Mama June Is 'Pinching Pennies' After Spending $1 Million On Medications In A Year

“Mama” June Shannon regrets spending $1 million on drugs and has been more frugal with her money as a result.

“Now I am back to penny pinching,” the reality star, who famously referred to herself as a “coupon queen” on “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” told the Daily Mail on Wednesday.

“[My husband] Justin [Stroud] says I am a hoarder of money.”

Shannon, 43, also admitted to thinking to herself at the lowest point of her addiction, “Girl, what the hell are you doing spending all that d-n money?”

“There are a lot of things I could do with that money,” she continued. “My husband always tells me that I can not dwell on it.”

Shannon confessed, however, that she is unsure of what was going through her head when high, and hence is unsure of why she made the decisions she did at the time.

“I do not remember much of that time period,” the “Mama June: From Not to Hot” actor admitted.

“Just a few bits and pieces, but the biggest, dumbest thing I have done is spend that much money on drugs.”

“I would say [we spent] probably a good $900,000 in the last year of our addiction,” the TLC star previously told Access Hollywood. “A lot of money was sent to our dope guy.”

“I went into rehab with $1.75 to my name, and I came out with nothing,” the “Mama June: Road to Redemption” star explained at the time.

Her drug problems reached an all-time peak in March 2019, when she and her now-ex, Gene Doak, were arrested on charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance for crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia.

Since then, the TLC star has turned her life around and remained sober.

Shannon has kept herself on a budget since her previous financial difficulties, even for her February wedding to Stroud, 35.

Earlier this week, the reality star revealed exclusively to Page Six that she was able to enjoy a “extravagant” wedding in Florida for only $13,000 dollars.

“We only had 38 people at our wedding, and it was just his and my families,” Shannon explained. “And we had an incredible wedding designer who put together a lavish wedding that looked like I paid $50,000.”
