    I'm also a soft rocker and love a bit of Bon Jovi and Meatloaf

    It's a question of attitude and posture.

    If you're sneery and hunched over, you're tight.

    If you're enthustiastic and bouncing along, you're MSE.

    hello again everyone
    I have a (semi) serious question for you.

    My mate really tuned me into this moneysaving lark and it's pretty addictive aswell as being a very sensible (and fun) thing to do.

    anyway, the question - Where is the line between being a moneysaver and as bit tight?


    thanks all
    James

    Being a moneysaver is buying your toilet roll in bulk at Costco ( you should have seen them all today!)
    tight is re-using it!

    To me its when the effort involved exceeds the benefits obtainable - eg I could save myself £5 by washing my own windows - but It would take me half a day when I could be doing something more productive.

    I'm the Princess of Power (not power ballads, I hasten to add)


    Nothing wrong with a bit of the Jovi! On more than one drunken occasion I've expressed a desire to get a tattoo around my wrist saying "Tommy and Gina never backed down" .... :rotfl:

    And a die-hard MSEr would have got some cashback or a freebie too somewhere along the line ;)

    I almost cant bear to part with money these days unless theres something extra in it for me
