TightwadsThere'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.

Tight AuntMy Aunt Joan has always been careful with the pennies. I remember her berating me as a child for using 'too many' of her tissues to blow my nose when I had a cold. My mum, bless her, stepped in and said' Oh for God's sake Joan, it's only bloody tissues. Here, I'll replace them if that's what you want'. My mum then took some Kleenex from her handbag and put them on the table. Joan's reply? 'Those are only 2-ply. Mine are 3-ply'.
