This is a question Tightwads

There'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.

I don't buy people gifts for xmas
instead i tell them to buy something nice for themselves,
a) because i don't want some pointless piece of shite you've found on the floor and wrapped up to give to me for xmas
b) i'm sure you don't want the crap that i'd buy you
c) with the money i saved from not buying you some pointless bit of tat, i've managed to save up and buy myself something I'VE ALWAYS WANTED!

oh... and you can get at least 2 cups of tea from a teabag! (and if you hang them on the washing line, you can get 4!)

There's a family story...
About my granddad - he allegedly made 17 cups from one bag this one time...

That is wrong.
It takes 2 tea bags to make one mug of tea and to use 1 teabag 4 times you would need to allow 7 hours of brewing time!!!

Damn it - why does nobody appreciate a good, strong cup of tea anymore!!!!!!

I don't do Christmas at all;
if people want to buy me a present I tell them to donate to charity instead.

And I'm sure they do
rather than just keeping the money.
