Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

Nothing wrong with copper coins...40p in coppers, plus one sturdy sock, makes a useful (and thrifty) chav-repellent. I don't think chavs are worth clubbing with pound coins.
Also - I don't really give a rat's about tipping. If I'm paying cash, they can have a fiver - if it's on the card, I don't bother, as it's too much hassle. In general, I'd prefer them to have a decent living wage, same as every other line of work, and not have rely on what basically amounts to charity. If you do a day's work, being paid should be an expectation, not a favour.
