Scrimpers and Money saving?

I remember the tip to squeeze a loo roll so the core becomes an oval that way the paper breaks if you try to pull loads off.

I haven't got the foggiest idea what you'll get

I have the book that came with the Scrimpers series (more of a booklet really)

In the 'further information' section they mention the ' Penny Pincher News' these were newsletters put together by the 'old' couple mentioned earlier, John and Irma Musto, I signed up for these and then bought the compilation book that came out later.

The Tightwad Gazette newsletters were mentioned too, I signed up for those as well and had them all sent over from the USA every month.

Then they recommended the Cheapskate Monthly books by Mary Hunt, I bought those too - and to think I wonder why I've no money? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I borrow the penny pinchers' book from the library pretty regularly,but I think the Tightwad Gazette is better even though it is so American.

I can recommend it,there's a thread about it somewhere here.
