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.

tight wad
So my flatmate, he fell out with his girlfriend and needed somebody to move in. So when i moved in the house was like a skip, so i've spent £10,000 doing the place up. Leather sofa, huge tv, etc. And what has he done? Found a fridge on the side of the road we keep beer in.

Enter his bedroom and his bed my mate gave him his tv, his video he found in the bins, his computer my mate gave him, his dvd i gsve him, his clothes his mother bought him, His car his mother bought him. The last thing anyone can remember him buying was an xbox
(original Xbox)

and he buys supermarket own label food, drinks supermarket own label beer.

You moved into
someone else's house and spent £10,000. What the fuck? Do you own a stake in this house? Is it rental? This makes no sense whatsoever.

my thoughts exactly!
10 grand - why didnt you buy somewhere if you have that sort of cash knocking about.
