Pop in to Homebase and use the display toilets, they aren't plumbed in so there will be no water charges or wasted water.....Everybody wins!

No i am not joking and when we used to go away. If we stopped at the service stations he would scrounge food of us and collect all the sachets of sugar and sauce etc at the counter and save them to get home. He left the navy and had about £150,000 in the bank just from being the tightest man in the world, he is now a police officer in somerset.

this post is rapidly turning into the tightest people post!!

when i am in the supermarket i always trim the bottom of the mushrooms (stalk) as there is no way i am paying extra in weight for the bit i am going to chop off at home and throw away!

and always ask the girl at the till if i get a discount for cash when paying the bill. Always haggle as its in my scottish blood, once got £10 off my groceries in asda by haggling at the till, was well chuffed!

One time i was in a Weatherspoons in Liverpool. I went to the toilet and all the cubicles were full. There was one open at the end with a foreign bloke outside it and another foreign bloke inside it and he was busy ripping off all the paper of the giant toilet roll holder and putting it in a big holdal. I said do you mind i need to use the toilet he then looked flustered and said sorry and he zipped up the bag and then run off with other bloke . Needless to say i forgot to check if they had took it all and just went straight on the loo only to find out afterwards they had lol

We have a guy at work who does the same thing only uses the toilet in works time, but then again at the end of the day he fills his flask up with hot water from the urn. So that when he gets home he doesnt need to boil his kettle!

:rotfl: I thought the guy I worked with was bad we all buy rolls and bacon and take the fat off which is placed in a dish in the middle of the table. He comes along with a buttered roll and empties the fat on to I need to tell him about the water :rotfl:

Can we get off the topics of silly ways to save money? People like to save money but I do not think to this extreme. I prefer to use my home toilet because it is more private in fact I don't even use outside toilets.

If you really want to cut costs, use a "save a flush bag" limit toilet paper use, squirt less soap on your hands (Use antibacterial to limit a compromise with hygiene) and learn to use cold water to wash your hands in rather than hot.
