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's false economy though, surely
As you need to use loads more of it. And value bog roll usually has larger diameter cardboard tubes, cheeky bastards.

When I was at uni and used value bog roll, every time I came back to my parents' house (they're Andrex/Charmin etc users) I'd reel off my usual length of bog roll to wipe my arse and end up with a lump of it about the size of my head.

These days I go for supermarket own brand not value stuff and it seems to last longer.

^^ This times a million
Sounds like I led the same life as you when it comes to bog roll. Except I realised it whilst I was house sharing but my twatish housemate didn't.
