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.

Last night I went out for dinner with a friend who's getting married in a couple of weeks.

One of her recommendations for the reception is that her guests all smuggle in their own booze to avoid having to pay the hotel's bar prices.

Kilts ftw!
I wore one at my sister's wedding a few weeks back, and I loved it.

My mother now has a three minute video of me doing the whole dance routine to Footloose.

My lovely mate does this with vodka, but she's not shy of the bar, and gets her round in anyways, complete with the occasional round of Jaegermeister or sambucca shots.. she's just eccentric..
