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.

Back in the days......when Dime bars were 10p (and still called Dime bars, not this 'Daim' malarkey) in the school tuck shop, my friend and I would walk around the corridors and playground to pick up any 1p and 2p coins on the ground, then scuttle off to claim our prize.
If we had a particularly good day, we'd get a Drifter and share it between us :D

Excellent use of thrift there,very productive.
I still find myself checking the 'coin return' slot of public phones as I pass, a habit I learned 40 years ago when a forgotten 2p would buy half an hour's worth of chewy toffee.

I was under the impression.......that the 'Daim' variant was almost entirely restricted to IKEA in the UK as it's just 'Dime' in Swedish?
