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.

This.Possibly even worse for the similar stories people have posted about electronics - Plasma TVs etc. Also applies to food, of course. Should be a criminal offence, definitely.
But then that's what the "system" is based on, with the consequence that when people start being sensible (keep stuff like cars, TVs, computers going or buy secondhand) it causes people who make those things to lose their jobs. And probably the manufacturer's share price to drop, which just so happens to then kill your pension fund or cause your bank to collapse. It's all broken, but how do we fix it?
