The bathroom light is the same in our house but mainly due to us being too lazy ha ha.

I dont throw coffee granules away out of the filter machine I use them in the garden

I always buy the cheapest / best deal on anything toiletrie wise it will get used.

This is disgusting but I use hubbys old razors to shave me legs

Will not buy electricals at full price thank god for comet clearance.

I dont pay for lunches as I get them free at work even though everyone else goes out for lunch :T

You know you're too stingy when ..... you lose one earring so just wear the one for a few days cause you're sure you've got one the same ( ie- just one, not a pair) Then when you do find it, its not the same size, but you just make sure that you talk to people with your head to one side so they'll never notice!

When you stop to pick up 3p on the way back from the shop. I just did.

Before the kids could read, if we ever came across one of those ride-on toys they have outside supermarkets etc, and they wanted a go. I used to point to the notice regarding the price, and say it said it was broken, and being repaired next week!!

Only works of course if no one is already on it!!

You bring home cakes or nice biscuits as a treat and your daughter says "Oh were they on offer mum?":rotfl:

And of course they were.

Oooooh I really hate that :mad:. I went out for a "girly" night years ago when I was pregnant with my first. I only knew two of the people there. One of them was pregnant too and we were both suffering from morning sickness. We ordered something very cheap (I only had R50 - this was in Swaziland) and didn't drink anything except water. My meal should have come to R20 at the most. Some of the women had to leave early so settled their bills on the way out. The rest of it was split between the rest of us, so we ended up subsidising all the others expensive meals and alcohol. I'm still fuming about it over 12 years later :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I do what someone else does and wash out my freezer bags and hang them on the line.

You lose 4 1/2 st (like me!!!:j), drop 4 dress sizes but still refuse to even buy new pants because the old one might be like sacks on you but they're not falling down when you run up the stairs...yet!:p

If theres several of the same course on that works sending you on you choose the one with provided lunch & take tubs to collect the left overs (Theres always loads), has to be done out of the providers line of sight normally as they dont want to be blamed for food poisoning etc.

You walk the 20 minute, up hill journey home, with a push chair heavily laiden with bags full of shopping, both under it & hanging on the handels, with a back pack on (& of course with a baby in, I'm not that stingey.....yet!) so you dont have to pay £5 for a black cab. It also saves on going to the gym!

Years ago a friend of ours walked the whole length of a street in Fort William, just to save 1p on a note pad

Those of us old enough to remember 1/2p coin, (i was only a child!!!), I remember the day theywere the last day they could beused, my mum went through every draw every cupboard looking for 1/2p coins, and I had enough for a 10p mixture...... a lot of sweets in those days) x
