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.

I also buy my clothes from charity shopswhich my wife thinks is skanky but she is quite happy to buy clothes off Ebay which I don't think is any different except that I get to see them first.

My thoughts exactly.I tend to get quite a few of my clothes/bags/books from Oxfam etc, because: one can check they fit and aren't damaged, and one is giving money to charity at the same time. With ebay, you risk spending money on clothes that aren't in the condition described, don't fit, are the wrong shade (pictures rarely show the correct shade of colour), and your money goes to some person wanting to make a cheap buck out of it.
