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.

How much???When on holiday my father who is tighter than a nuns holy region refuses to buy the paper as " it costs 5 euros". Fast forward 3 months and aformentioned father is asking me to help lay out his new rug.....this would not be so bad if it was not for the fact that the rug is second hand and it cost him two and a half grand!. Buy a paper and get yer rugs from ikea you tight old git!!

It's a matter of justificationI can't justify paying £1 for a newspaper, when I can get the news for free on the internet. But I do have a number of expensive hobbies. Your father clearly likes nice rugs, and there's no shame in that.
