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.

It could always be"things I stole from the workplace before my current one"
So far (err... I mean "in total at my previous employer") the haul includes:
A few parts that became part of a halloween costume, and have taken home without any paperwork (not exactly stealing, but Security still treat it as such...) a over a grands' worth of UPS (+ extra "out of date" batteries) and DAQ / digital IO equipment. So my PC can now sit downloading all day running on batteries that are charged from inexpensive nighttime electricity, and I can turn on my kettle from my living room- or even from work!
Oh, and a (sadly, non-functional) model of an ROV. Plus assorted stationary, batteries, etc.
