This is a question 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 appreciate
That not everyone is comfortable with people involved with charities getting paid, but how on earth are they expected to grow and raise sufficient money without the right staff in place?

I know that most charities work on the basis that for each £100 spent on fundraising, they expect to receive £250 back. Which is surely preferable to them spending no money on funding raising and having the odd school fair and waiting for them to get the Blue Peter appeal gig.

Door to door sales (or Chugging if you want to put it in a fund-raising context) can earn comission, but its rarely more than about seven-quid an hour when you aggregate it.
