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

when you take your dirty chefs uniform home from work in a black bin liner everyday....just so you can reuse the binliner.

I am too stingy to use my oven, preferring to use my Remoska. Too stingy to buy a whole chicken too so in the butchers today I bought 8 chicken thighs for £2.99 - 4 are being cooked now and 4 are in the freezer:j

I'm another one who takes all the coffee and teas when in hotels and also the tolietries (if I go to one posh enough to have them). Also will take all stationery items if available.

I do that too - its great if I am staying there for a few days because I clear them out each day:rotfl: These things are handy when I go camping and the like.

MY OH must be really stingy because when I go to his place, he has a jar in the kitchen containing lots of sachets of tea, coffee and sugar - as its cheap-tasting stuff I always use my own jar that I have stashed in the back of his cupboard (he never goes into the back of the cupboard so its quite safe).

And for others, myself included (until two minutes ago :rolleyes: ), who did not know what a 'Remoska' is, and didn't want to ask in case they look foolish, I have just found the following link:

I am going to start saving - will probably buy one on ebay as I am too 'stingy' to pay the full price - £79.99 at Lakeland. :rotfl: :rotfl:

You could tell them that due to the unhealthy nature of ice cream the government has banned all flavours other than sprout!

Ah rog2 - you need to wander over to the moneysaving oldstyle board as there is lots of chat over there about the wonderful Remoskas.

Managed to buy a Remoska cookbook on fleabay - it contains 200 recipes for the standard and grand versions (a poor woman bought it thinking it would do for her baby one but it doesnt). Go for the standard or grand. Its fab and so easy to use - no knobs to fiddle with just on and off.

I only use the oven if I have a large pizza to cook.

let me know if the book's any good!

we walk where possible...Mrs Bis does car booting for presents and potential ebay sales but when it comes to eating, I'm Mr Scraps.....we have hens for what I don't fancy the look of but that's usually not a lot.
