dfw post of the week - bless

I had another lightbulb moment. quite often in our house, we dont flush the toilet to save on water as I heard that was the thing to do, only I just realised, we arent on a meter!! Hows that for stingy.....my excuse is I am being enviromentally friendly LOL

Alos, made a sandwich for work yesterday and noticed their was mould on the bread but I just cut around it LOL. Unfortunately when it came to eating it, i could still taste the mould and couldnt finish it but I decided that I would just have to do without having anything else

When your work bag is constantly full of stationery from work like pens and paper etc.

When you are so well known for stingyness that the local begger and big issue people dont say anything as you walk past! lol

This sounds like confession time........
One of my daughters friends mum, Im sure she beats the Im stingy title, she saves the empty toilet roll, unrolls the new toilet roll (usually double layered), and rewraps onto 2 cardboard centres, making each one single ply...... hense always carry a bit of loo roll with me when I go to hers!!

Now THAT's stingy. I thought I'd heard it all but no.

:eek:

you nip into Aldi for one item, buy 27 others whilst in there and carry your shopping out to the car rather than pay 3p for a plastic carrier bag and then have to find your car key without dropping all the stuff you've just bought! Still at least it amuses the passengers in the next car........

ha ha that is what I did on Saturday, I picked up a box and put my shopping into it rather than fork out 9p for three bags. lol:rotfl:

Your condiments and sugar all exist in your cupboard in sachet form...

Random toilets rolls turn up in your bathroom instead of a packet as you consider the ones at work to be what they meant when they said 'plus benefits'

If you don’t finish an alcoholic drink you will bottle it in a water bottle (or some sort) and refrigerate ready for tomorrow

You spend an hour and a half on a London bus rather than 15 mins on a tube, because you can save £1.10 on the oyster fare.

You peel the extra skin off your onions in the supermarket, just in case the extra weight of them could cost 1p when weighing them.

Next time you are at a burger shop, ask for more salt and sauce sachets than you really need, that will save you buying salt etc. :j :rotfl:

:rotfl: I let my daughter hold the onion I was buying while she was sitting in the supermarket trolley yesterday as she was taking the outer layers off! I thought it'd work out cheaper by the time we got to the checkout!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

Also, regarding the earlier poster telling his wife that the lettuces were the equivelent of 15/- in old money...... My Dad told me that exact same thing when we were in Morrison's last week!! :rotfl:

Shower with your boyfriend to save money...!! Also cheap entertainment...!

Look forward to your parents coming round because a) they take you out to dinner b) your mum brings you cake, bay leaves, garlic and anything growing in the garden

I also use the franking machine at work, I know it's technically stealing but it's only a couple of pennies and the way I see it, it's the revenge for making me work so much unpaid overtime! That and the free milk...

You know you're stingy when.....you use your son's deoderant that he has had for Christmas (and isn't too keen on) instead of buying any of your own!

....you add beans too everything,(any type) to bulk out your meals!:rolleyes:

....you smell the arm-pits of you 15yr olds t-shirts after he has worn them for only 2HOURS, to see if you can get away without washing them!:D
