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.

Happened today.
An old dear came to me all flustered.
"My money! Came spilling out of my purse and some of it went under the photocopier!"
"Fear not granny", I didn't say out loud. "I've got this."
So I shifted the heavy photocopier, which was built before coaster wheels it seems, and almost put my back out moving it aside. I grunted with the effort and asked how much she had lost.
"Oh it was only 2p. There it is! Every penny counts!"
