This is a question Tightwads

There'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.

It tries to happen every time me and the G/f go out for a meal with friends, I normally get around it by stating at the start that I'm probably going to have the fillet steak so it would be unfair of me to expect them to pay for some of my food and then when agreed I just change my mind and have the seafood as usual.

If they insist that it's OK to split, I'll order the fillet and a bottle of nice red just to make sure I get my money's worth.

But that's not tight - it's just fair play.
