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.

I can't seem to leave any branch of Waterstoneswithout buying 3 books - damn 3 for 2 offers!
I have a shelf full of books waiting to be read....but I just can't seem to stop myself from buying more of the bloody things. Yesterday I bought three poetry books, today three popular fiction on 3 for 2. I'm singlehandedly keeping Waterstones afloat.
And don't get me onto Amazon....
A couple of weeks back I spent £10 on secondhand books in Oxfam too.
I buy my kids (and my) clothes in the sales and any cheap shops going just so I can keep up the book habit.
It'd be cheaper to be a druggie.
