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.

It's a shredder....I bought the wife a paper shredder a few years ago for her main christmas present....
She could see it was a rather large box and was getting excited about openeing it as she didnt have a clue what it was....
Well on christmas morning she eagerly opened it to find a Tesco value paper shredder....I could see the look of disbelief on her face so I told her look at how it cuts the paper.....
So she opened it and looked at the paper, inside with the paper was a pair of diamond earrings!
Okay so it was cheaper to buy a shredder than a nice big box to put the earrings in!
