savemoney

I did not wait to summer to save money. I already said I had bought some the winter before at full price. I bought it in summer for next winter as I saw it cheap that is not being tight its trying to make my money go further

You dont know me but you judge me that I am tight.

Let me get this straight if I was tight I wouldn't buy de-icer. I wouldn't buy rainx etc. I just paid £30 this week for some stuff for car including Gtechniq G3 ClearVision Glass Coat at £10 a bottle but it lasts I also got some detailing stuff, but then I look after my car, its called money saving so I make it last, so by your reckoning I must be tight

Oh and I wouldn't also buy some stuff for the car inside to stop windows condensing

Kwikfit most people wouldn't dream of using them,

I also have a company vehicle where the owners use kwikfit as they are not bothered about price, it is tax deductable.

I received a free ice scraper, along with some other goodies, in November.

But you are judging others as tight yourself!


Some people are so tight to have to spend £1.50 of some de-icer.

The above is from your first post. And you have reiterated it in this post, above.

I mealy was suggesting that if it was down to money being tight stock up in Summer, of course it no good now doing it you need de-icer now. I dont use scrapers unless I have too dont like using abrasive things on car

I don't think it is tight to buy (and store) de-icer in the summer when it is cheaper.

This is Money Saving Expert after all.

if you people trying to save money are "tight" - which isn't a compliment - what are you doing on here?

Your lucky.

I have a contract vehicle, which includes all servicing and tyres.

Kwik have the contract. My tyres have to go into illegal situation, before kwik fit can get authorisation, then I had to go to 3 branches, before one was willing to fit them. They are paid a set amount by the contract co to supply tyres for the whole contract co's fleet of cars ( 1000's), but the branches do not get a penny on their sales from them, so they are in effect doing them for no profit and lost labour charges. They would rather fit a private persons tyres, exhaust etc as at least they make money.

This has gotten out of control.

qetu, one can buy de-icer right now for a £1 in a poundshop!

Even if they reduced this to 2 for 1 in the summer one saves 50p!! Big woof!

I, and I imagine most other members, are interested in saving monies of a significant amount, this is just penny pinching!

And it wasn't me who said anybody was tight, I pointed out member savemoney, was himself calling those who don't buy de-icer tight!!!!!!!!!

Pretty sure only ford had element heated front windscreen, I believe they have a patent on it so nobody else can do it. They're pretty good though.

I'd rather save pounds than pennies but there is an old proverb

look after the pennies and the pounds look after themselves
