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.

If it can't be boilwashed, we ain't wearing it.The Scars family work in fields where daily laundry is a fact of life. You CAN'T wear an outfit that smells of shit or diesel twice, not unless you're a local with six fingers on each hand. So it's combat trousers and stolen t shirts & fleeces from every contract I've done in the last 6 years for me, and Primark + charity shop for Mrs Scars. I possess 1 suit, 4 decent shirts, 1 pair of jeans, 1 pair of chinos and a full set of winter motorbike gear.
I'd like to nick stuff from mates, but a) I don't have enough mates and b) they're not 17 stone HGV drivers with huge shoulders and gorilla arms.
