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.

TV Licence & Water
The TV Licence is a licence to install and use devices that can receive broadcasted tv-signals as they are being shown on TV. This includes TVs, video recorders, your SKY/Freeview/other subscription-based tv package, DVD recorders, computers and mobile phones.


You could try sinking a well on your land, or catch rainwater and store it. This water can be filtered and sterilised as it was what people have been doing for centuries.
Even if you have no water supplied to your premises, you still have to pay for your waste to be ferried away.

If you purify and process your own waste somehow and maybe sell the processed sterilised waste onto a farmer to throw on his land, any rainwater that drains off your land enters drains owned by the local water authority, so they'll still bill you for that.

You cannot avoid the man.
