Tightwads
There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.
Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

I used to work at M&S in Guildford
At the end of the day anything which is going out of date is sold to staff for about half price, then once they've had their pick a guy from a homeless charity arrives, picks 4 or 5 trays of food (generally stuff that can be eaten straight out of the packet) and takes it away. I worked there for 3 years and he was there every day. I thought that was bloody marvelous.
