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."There may be a legal obligation to obey, but there will be no moral obligation to obey. When it comes to history, it will be the people who broke the law for freedom that will be remembered and honoured." --Rt. Hon. Tony Benn0 -
