Cheap skate or savvy

  • Savvy!!

    Like most people I work hard for my money, and like to spend it as I see fit, in Aldi, Lidl, M&S, Asda or Sainsbury, etc, depending on what I feel is best value for money for me and my family.

    However, each to their own. If everyone was very money saving & frugal, there probably wouldn't be as many bargains for the rest of us.

    You should start a thread, asking if that's true or not. Could be a good debate in it.

    I happen to agree, by the way.

    Definitely savvy but I would have said cheapskate in my preMSE days.
