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.

Student DaysWhen I was student back in '89, I drank Bitter as it was 70p a pint in the Uni bar. In the budget that year, 2p was put on a pint. I swittched to Mild, which increased to 70p (from 68p). I also put £200 of my grant in the Building Society to get some interest (about £1 IIRC).
Happy days.

I bought a leather Jacketwith what I had left over from the student grant in 1989. £5 from the cash point on a Wednesday night and I rolled up back to the digs shit faced. £19 a week rent and £16 a week rent rebate. Nuff said.
BTW bitter was 56p a pint where we drank.
