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.

The weird thing is.....that if people asked me for a discount for cash, I'd invite them to go swivel. Cash means counting it, checking for fakes, having it in the shop until you bank up and then having to walk to the bloody bank with it- in other words several times the hassle of a plastic transaction. OK if the person you are speaking to owns the shop but the taxation incurred is of no concern to me.
I would however discount proportionally to money spent.

I generally don't wander around withgreat wodges of cash - I usually use the Switch card, which I believe has a lower transaction cost than a credit card, but I did once go to the bank and get actual hard cash after the guy got snippy about putting a card through.
