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.

Back in the 70smy dad used to drink Miller High Life, which is the epitome of cheap yellow fizzy piss.
One weekend he and Mom were going out of town and he made a great show of noting how many bottles of Miller were in the fridge, as I was to be staying there alone for two days. Needless to say it annoyed me.
So when he got home his four bottles of Miller had eight little pony bottles of Miller in a circle around them. As I was underage he demanded an explanation.
"I dunno, Dad. Guess they had babies."
Since I hadn't taken anything, he couldn't get but so angry with me...
