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.

My graduation a few years agowas unfortunately booked for the week after my family suffered a horrendous bereavement.
I decided to go through with it anyway and set off with my mother, Mr Quar and two young-adult offspring.
Although the occasion was, for us, naturally rather low-key compared to the scenes of joy all around us, it was still a great day.
The proud Mr Quar had intended to treat us all to a posh lunch, but I didn't really feel like pushing the boat out, in the circs. We were still hungry though.
So we compromised - the Indian all-you-can-eat-for-a-fiver.
We all stuffed ourselves for less than forty quid plus tip. Expensive felt wrong that day - cheapskate was good.

Sorry to hear it man ...Fate has a cruel sense of humour and a keen sense of timing for maximum irony.

Thank you.We didn't half eat a lot. My mother, who'd never had curry before, had three plates of korma.
Well, it's what he would have wanted.
