This is a question Parsimony

Hullo tapirs, guffs Richard McBeef off the internet. One of my brother's friends once cycled from one side of London to the other to get some free lightbulbs from a condemned building, a 6-hour round trip. Tell us about the meanest, stingiest penny-pinching you've witnessed.

My uncle does that
He's a millionaire several times over. Will search for 20 minutes to find a cheaper parking space in his massive 4x4.

Its not worth its own tale
but my wife's Granddad is a multi millionaire and never spends any of it, he's in his late 80's and has just horded it and accumulated more when he can. He has never had a passport, never gone on holiday, drives a shitty cheap car but will always still look out for a bargain that will make him money. He lives his life by the words "You don't get rich by spending more than you have to"

His sons on the other hand are in their early 50's and are rubbing their greedy hands waiting to retire early and blow the lot
