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.

apologies for crappy punBut it's a true story.
When I was no more than a wee sprog my uncle and aunt had just returned from a "around the world cruise" and were showing my family thousands of slides that they had taken on the trip.
At some point in the evening ,my mum turns to my day and says "How come we never do anything as nice as this?"
And my dad replied {cringing as I type} "Beggars can't be criusers."
To the day he died, he use to nearly wet himself whenever he told of that little tale.
