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.

I did this.
Stupid Newlook stupid labelled their stupid jeans wrong - I wanted 2 pairs of 32", size 12 jeans. Easy. I tried one on and assumed the other would also fit, glove-like. Couldn't even get the bastards past mid-thigh, despite the tags attached to the jeans proclaiming "12" at me and making me feel obese.

Checked the tag inside, bastards were an 8.

This was two weeks ago, and I haven't gone back to exchange them yet as I am too tight to waste the time and the 80p bus fare.

80p?
I thought you were a student in Manchester? Don't you get a weekly pass, or do you live too close to campus to make it worthwile?

Newlook
are notorious for this. I double check everything in there after buying what was labelled on the hanger as a size 10 top - but when I tried it on at home it turned out to be a 14. For £3.99 I didn't even bother going back to be honest - I gave it to my friend.

Ask around, see if anyone will buy the 8 off you!
