How Tight Are You?

[I like Skol]

I use good old fashioned soap. 3 bars of Imperial Leather from Poundland, lasts a couple of months at least. The other wasters in my family use shower gel

I stand outside the shower cubicle while my wife is showering and when she squeezes the shower gel or shampoo into her hand I yell "How much? You need less than half that amount, do you know how much that stuff costs? Why are you throwing our money down the drain?"
She gets really annoyed by it, says I sound like a scratched record going on about the same things over and over again. She still does it though

Ah, see, what you gain in keyboard life you lose in efficiency.

Daughter has a tendancy to leave lights on in whichever room she's vacated
I'll go & turn them off, to her protestations that she'll be going back there "soon"

(okay, maybe it's not that bad, as most of bulbs are LED)

Poundland is my third home. My actual home, and my local Brewdog being the other two.

I don't do all my shopping in Waitrose, sometimes I go to Tesco . And I take advantage of the free coffee... I'm guessing that makes me tight

 

[MossCommuter]

When I travel by train I buy the champagne in Waitrose before departure. The wine in first class is frightfully expensive.

I say, I say, I say...

I ran behind the bus all the way to work this morning and saved three pounds.

Tomorrow I'll run behind a taxi and save a tenner

 

[postman]

I stand by the phrases

A Yorkshireman is a Scotsman, with all the generosity squeezed out of him

Short arms, deep pockets

Sir i like you.Nothing wrong with that statement.

I like creating employment, which is why I spend.

Sounds like Mrs ND - it's been known for me to get back from a ride and find virtually every light in the house on - during the day!!!

This week I've been beavering away making my own Waxoyl, of all things. I think I got the recipe down pat now.

I've clearly got too much time on my hands, but using only scrap materials and bits of shizzle I've saved myself about £60 (I cooked enough to do two cars).

@Drago do you spend the money saved on tyres?

I thought this was going to be a story about a peep show.

that is how he has the money to spend on tyre, waxoil is not in my mind a safety item.

Lord Finchley tried to mend the Electric Light
Himself. It struck him dead: And serve him right!
It is the business of the wealthy man
To give employment to the artisan.
