We tend to always associate celebrities with all that is extravagant and posh; ginormous mansions, fancy cars, butlers, nannies and everything else associated with wealth. However, we tend to also forget that before these Hollywood heavyweights were who they are today, they were once normal people leading ordinary lifestyles. Maybe the celebrity lifestyle is not so different than ours, maybe it isn't like Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Just because they have the A-list tag attached to their names, that does not mean they are not normal people.

What we also tend to forget is that even though celebrities make all this money through their fame, some of them go broke because of their spending habits, hence leading a more low-key lifestyle. And then there are smarter A-listers who spend their fat paychecks wisely by choosing to live like normal and middle-class people. And we won't lie, you'd be totally flabbergasted to find out which actresses buy $25 clothing.

And so, we want to share with you a list of mega actresses who did not alter their lifestyles because of their money; actresses who do not use their fortune to shop at places with hefty price tags, dine at super expensive restaurants or hire personal assistants. The following are Hollywood actresses who have not let their fame get to their heads and actually are a bunch of down-to-earth stars.

25 Angelina Jolie

People tend to have mixed feelings about the stunning actress, but Angelina Jolie has done a lot that has proven she is not just another brick in the wall amongst her famous colleagues. Firstly, we know that Jolie has adopted children, which automatically makes her a little humbler in our books. Imagine one day entering a plane and seeing Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt? Well, passengers got to witness that nearly 3 years ago when Jolie made herself and her family hop on an economy flight to France. What happened to private jets?

24 Kristen Bell

She is the actress who voiced Elsa in Frozen. In the Disney box office film that broke records, Elsa, a powerful princess ran away from all her fame, and Kristen Bell is just the same. With all the money that this sing-along Disney film brought in and continues to bring in, Bell could certainly like live a Disney princess, but that is not her ideal idea of life it seems. According to the star, she is a fiend for coupons and does not shop without them. You see, Disney princesses are ordinary too!

23 Kate Hudson

Sure, we would probably all love to have an assistant do everything for us, but in the real world, that is only just a fantasy. However, even pretty woman and big-time actresses like Kate Hudson like to get their hands dirty and do their own things sometimes like normies. Hudson was almost successful at losing a guy in 10 days, but she is surely successful at remaining humble. The bomb actress is often spotted out doing her groceries, even though she looks way more fashionable than us when she does so.

22 Reese Witherspoon

Not everyone who can do the bend and snap like Reese Witherspoon, and not every A-list actress can pump gas like her either. So, no chauffeur and no one to help her put her gas? This certainly makes the starlet a much more down-to-earth actress than we thought. We're totally impressed by Witherspoon, it is a rare sight to see a super chic actress stop to fill up their tanks in LA. The Legally Blonde actress has certainly stayed true to her roots.

21 Jessica Alba

She has been out of the spotlight for some while, yet no one can forget our gorgeous 'honey' Jessica Alba. One reason this actress has decided to keep out of the limelight is to do like any ordinary person and focus on her family and spending time with them. Apart from that, the paparazzi often snapshots of the sizzling starlet pushing giant carriages full of goodies, proving to us that even the biggest names are just like us. And we thought we were the only ones who had to push those annoying trolleys.

20 Sarah Michelle Gellar

Even Buffy the Vampire Slayer decided to live a more ordinary life! This famous actress that we grew up watching certainly traded in her vampire slaying for slaying the whole normie life attitude. Like Bell, Sarah Michelle Gellar vows by using coupons wherever she goes, and is always on the hunt for the worthiest deals. The mother knows what it is to lead a life like others and opened up to Self magazine saying, without embarrassment, that she regularly uses coupons at Whole Foods.

19 Jennifer Lopez

It is not only us ordinary people that go to fast fashion stores like H&M, Zara or Forever 21 ― celebrities do too, did you know? We know that A-listers always have numerous social events to attend, and you may think that they spend thousands on an outfit each time, but ladies and gents, meet Jenny from the block. The pop star, actress and TV host often attends her gigs wearing dresses as low as $25 like the above lacey one. And because she rocks the bargained pieces, she has nothing to be ashamed of being a normie.

18 Jennifer Lawrence

We already love the outspoken J-Law, and with an attitude like hers, she is definitely a lot like us. Even though she is one of the highest paid actresses, the Hunger Games star has stayed true to who she is and has not let her massive assets change who and how she is. In fact, up until recently, the Oscar-winning actress stayed in her same apartment before her Hollywood career took off. It is also said that the actress does not care for luxury, as she sits behind the wheel of a Chevy Volt.

17 Margot Robbie

This star is every man's dream woman, but the woman who caught the eye of The Wolf of Wall Street, is as ordinary as it gets. Somehow, we are totally surprised when we see these dandy actresses eat the junk food that we sometimes indulge in. It actually makes us feel less guilty when we see a beautiful actress like Margot Robbie crave the same foods that we do. Spotted here with a very casual outfit and McDonald's in her hands, we can't help but wonder what the Australian bombshell munched on.

16 Amanda Seyfried

The actress that is famous for her roles in romantic films, and Mamma Mia! lives a lot like the humble characters she portrays ― maybe that is why she does such an exceptional job. You know when you go do your groceries for the week and come back with tons of bags to go back and forth with? Well, actresses like Amanda Seyfried don't snap their fingers and have a personal carry-bags assistant. Instead, the sweet and famous actress does it all on her own.

15 Vanessa Hudgens

Some celebrities don't want anything fancy and that's okay; it is those actresses that get caught being just like us that we adore most. The High School Musical star, Vanessa Hudgens who has always been so cute and innocent while in the spotlight has proven to be normal just like the rest of us. It happens to all of us; we want to just slip out of the house in our PJs, and we do, but the difference is A-listers get caught while they do. No worries Hudgens, we all do it.

14 Eva Mendes

Imagine going for a grocery run because the cupboards are empty and running into a dazzling actress? It is totally possible, so be aware. We never imagined that we'd see Eva Mendes pushing a shopping trolley in the food aisles, but lo and behold, Mendes does her chores by herself, like ordinary people. And Mendes does not seem to mind trolling up and down the aisles without someone. She has won our hearts even more now that humble star.

13 Rachel Bilson

You know the feeling when you get dropped off at the airport and have to say "bon voyage" to your loved ones? We always think that A-listers live the lavish lifestyle when it comes to traveling, but not all of them decide to. The O.C. star Rachel Bilson is not the Cali girl we all imagine her to be; until this day, she gets her parents to pick her up and drop off at the airport. No personal chauffeur is needed for Ms. Bilson.

12 Zooey Deschanel

We would love to have the New Girl star Zooey Deschanel as our best buddy and the angel on our shoulder to give us advice when it comes to money. Because of her public divorce, court documents revealed to the world an actress who is frugal with her money and not a big spender. Thinking of her future and living a more ordinary life, for now, the starlet has managed to save over $1 million and has numerous credit cars with a zero balance. Now that is goals!

11 Lady Gaga

We know the extravagant singer that is known for her on-stage and fashion antics as a huge star, but Lady Gaga is as humble as it gets. The singer and actress is way more than her outfits and phenomenal talent; when all that is off, she is the ordinary girl who grew up making her mark in the Upper West Side. And though we know Gaga for her very "out-there" and unconventional outfits, the Mother Monster took to twitter to say: "Why do people look at me like I’m crazy when I use coupons at grocery or try bargaining at retail?" Who would have thought the fashion queen would buy sales?

10 January Jones

It is not the 1950s-60s anymore, and January Jones knows very well that as an independent and normal woman, she can do everything on her own. Best known for portraying the role of Betty Draper in Mad Men, the talented star who has been nominated for best actress, is not afraid to get her hands dirty. Even if she is rich and famous, she does not need to hire someone to do her interior designing for her it seems. Not even every ordinary person likes to paint, so props to you, Jones!

9 Hilary Swank

There is a reason that we do not see some actress plastered all over tabloids and social media, and that is simply because they choose to live ordinary lives to avoid all the shenanigans. Hilary Swank, who is a two-time Oscar-winner, is rich and famous now, but as a child and teen, Swank did not lead an easy life. And, it because of that that the star who started from the bottom remains humble; heads up, you can find her in the sales section or spending time with her family.

8 Halle Berry

She is foxy and independent, but she is also an Oscar=winner who has not let the fame get in the way of her life. It is kind of difficult to imagine the fierce Catwoman leading a life that is anything but luxurious and lavish, but she does. Luxurious car? No, Berry helps the economy by using public transport like many ordinary folks. She has also stated that she lives very wisely because one of her biggest fears is losing it all. It's okay Berry, there is no need for showing off what your fortune can get you.

7 Sarah Jessica Parker

Just because SJP had a closet to die for in Sex and the City that we would all throw ourselves into, in real life SJP ain't all that Carrie Bradshaw. To most of us, she'll always be our Carrie, but Parker likes finding bargains when it comes to her frocks. If you're an avid follower of the actress, you might have probably seen pictures of her on more than one occasion lounging and out and about in her comfortable sweat suits. The fashion mogul has also admitted that when it comes to her son, he only wore hand-me-downs ― how humble, and don't forget she's also a designer.

6 Emma Watson

Can money buy happiness? Whether it does or not, Emma Watson, who can live a posh lifestyle because of her success from the major franchise Harry Potter, chooses to live a low-key lifestyle; one without all the glitz and glam. Growing up in the spotlight as a successful child actress, it is quite difficult to remain humble and know what a normal life is. However, Watson had bigger dreams, and like many of us, attended Brown University to further her education. She lives in London but you probably won't find her because she remains on the down-low.

5 Rita Ora

We loved her in the Fifty Shades films, but you'll love her even more now when you discover that this babe is fit to be your new bestie. The actress and singer is often spotted out and about shopping like most women love to do, but she is the last chick to be so extravagant about it. And when it comes to dining, Ora does not expect an expensive wine dinner and has been spotted with some McDonalds instead. Seriously, she has cool cat written all over her.

4 Julia Roberts

There are some actresses that look so humble and sweet like sugar that we probably don't need to tell you they are but let us remind you that the Pretty Woman is a whole lot of ordinary woman in real life. The popular actress on her wardrobe admitted that she "never had enough dresses to be a lady." In fact, dressing up is the least of her worries as she prefers versatile and comfortable outfits and knitting clothing for her kids. How adorable?

3 Tori Spelling

She may have grown up with the lavish and grand 90210 mansion, but that does not mean that Tori Spelling is a Barbie girl living in a Barbie world. The 90s star actually sold her gigantic and luxurious house years ago to live like one of us in a cozy and practical bungalow. As a matter of fact, Spelling is not afraid to do some dirty work in the sand, and she grows her own organic vegetables and fruits for herself and her beautiful family. She also has a pet chicken and pig ― maybe she could teach us some normal lessons.

2 Keira Knightley

The Pirates of the Caribbean star certainly can live on any Caribbean island, but instead, she opts for a more ordinary and low-key life. It seems a lot of these actresses really think ahead when it comes to their money and in turn, limit their spending habits. Keira Knightley is another one of those famous starlets that don't need money to buy them happiness; the talented and adored actress calls an apartment in London her home. We would love to have tea time with her!

1 Mariska Hargitay

She seems unstoppable on our TV screens as she has been kicking butt on Law & Order: SVU for what seems like an eternity, but in real life, Mariska Hargitay is a lay back and kick back kind of gal. She was at a point, one of the highest-paid actresses, but Hargitay prefers to be stingy with her money and lead a life that will permit her ease of mind. She once confidentially told More magazine that she always worries about money, despite her fat paychecks. That is why we probably always see her strolling around like a normal peep.
