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.

Not my dad, thank godA bird I knew a while ago had a tight father. Seriously tight.
He had a regular 9-5 job, but to help pad his retirement, he got a job delivering the daily paper in the mornings. He was up at 5am to do so.
Now that's not too bad, I suppose, but when he was finished his paper route, he would bicycle down to the Library to read the paper HE JUST DELIVERED TO A HUNDRED PEOPLE. Because it was free to read it at the Library.

Have you never done a paper round?Not only don't you have the time to read the paper, but it's normally chucking it down with rain so any attempt would destroy it and give you more work as you go off and get a new one
*shudders a the memory of struggling with a huge bag at 6am on a Friday morning*
