You know you're too stingy when.........

I always complain to my landlord when the bathroom light gives out so he sends one of his men round to fix it and they always have to go and buy a lightbulb (they use a really expensive shop too):rotfl:

Oh and something else light related, I never change the halogen bulbs in my front room and will leave the dead ones up, so that when people come they take pity on me and buy and fit new lightbulbs:rotfl: (I have a few spares anyway and get dizzy standing on the steps).

You pay for your weekly shop with a massive jar of coppers. I did this last week. Stood at the self service section in Tesco for about 15 minutes, putting the coins in and imagining myself at the slot machine hall in Vegas, about to hit the jackpot!

The bulb goes in your bathroom... and because you can't get the light fitting off it remains unchanged and you suffer without a light in the bathroom at night........ for 3 months... (and counting) :whistle:

This is an example of one of the few times I feel I as a man am needed in the home!

Seriously, I_A do you know anyone that can come round and have a go? What kind of fixing is it?

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........

omg are you following me lol

I have a similar policy of going at work, not to save on water or toilet paper, but because I like the idea of being paid to go to the toilet!

When you buy a £5 kettle and you dig out the receipt and take it back when it breaks 11 months later after heavy use.

I dont drink tea or coffee but always used to take my breakfast cereal with me and use my milk allowance I would have if i drunk the stuff. Unfortunately, the bossess wised up when everyone started copying me, taking the first half an hour of the day to eat breakfast. Milk consumtion also increased dramatically so they put a stop to it LOL
