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.

I once spotted a beatiful Fender bass in a shop window in Denmark Street
It was quite a special one - at least, it must have been, to justify a £2500 price tag.
My friend, witness to my salivating, said:
"Well, if I win the lottery this weekend, I'll buy that bass."
"Aw, that's awfully kind."
"I didn't say I'd buy it for you. I'll buy the bass, and then a wood-chipper. You can watch while I put it through the wood-chipper. Then I'll buy you a pint to cheer you up."
