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.

If you dont ask you dont get.A lot of brits are embarassed to barter. But go to Morroco and its expected! Seriously you take people down from 10euros to 2euros for stuff. They like your euros better than their dirhams! :)

same in the eastThailand, Malaysia etc. Been round there a lot. The haggling becomes annoying after a while and starts to make me think they're all theiving fuckers which is mostly not what they are. I do feel like quite often saying "listen, youre arguing with me about an amount of money that represents about 0.00000001% of my current pocket change. Tell me a fair fucking price and stop trying to steal from me".
