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 Mum, my Nan & meringueNow, as caerful with money as my Mum is, my Nan was about 10 times worse. Again, this isn't in a bad way.
Once my Nan overheard either me or my sister mention that we liked meringue. So she made herself a baked egg tart one afternoon, and saved my Mum the whites of the egg.
When Mum popped round, nan gave he the whites of the egg so that she could make some meringues herself. This would save Nan the money of buying them for us, and the cost of having her oven on low for hours baking them and of course the cost of the eggs for my Mum.
Bless the pair of them.
