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.

I agree with this.
That's not being tight, that's reusing perfectly good things.

Being tight is refusing to buy something that you genuinely need. It's haggling down the price on something that's already ridiculously cheap. It's complaining over the price of something costing less than the price of a candy bar.

We're of the same kind, you and me...
