After [Daniel The Goat](https://twitter.com/MrDanielCabral) shared a photo in September of a picture of Crews’s notoriously thrifty character from _Everybody Hates Chris_ inside his wallet, the tweet quickly went [viral](http://time.com/4508190/pen-pineapple-apple-pen-song/), garnering over 222,000 retweets to date. “I keep this pic of Terry Crews in my wallet so I can see it when I’m about to waste money on things I don’t need lol,” he wrote. > [](https://twitter.com/MrDanielCabral/status/774091838357512192) Now, the _Brooklyn Nine-Nine_ star has taken to using the money-saving tactic, posting a photo to Instagram Tuesday of the same picture inside his own wallet. What a time to be alive. \[h/t [Buzzfeed](https://www.buzzfeed.com/victoriasanusi/thats-30-cent-worth-of-oatmel?bftw&utm%5Fterm=.rpYkVLr72#.mmgmeZWVw)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4512101/terry-crews-picture-wallet/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4512101/terry-crews-picture-wallet/"},"headline":"Terry Crews Just Hilariously Proved He Knows How Internet-Famous His Photo Is","datePublished":"2016-09-28T20:31:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:08.755Z","description":"Everyone should start doing this","url":"https://time.com/4512101/terry-crews-picture-wallet/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4512101/terry-crews-picture-wallet/","name":"Terry Crews Just Hilariously Proved He Knows How Internet-Famous His Photo Is"}}]}] ```
