Default What cheap things do you do?

It was on the radio this morning....pretty funny. They had people calling in to tell them what makes them cheap.

One guy said his dad, while growing up, wouldn't let anyone flush the toilet unless it was #2. If it's yellow it's mellow, if it's brown it must go down. Disgusting.

Only cheap thing I do is here at work. The cafe has styrofoam cups for fountain pop. I buy one on Monday and then reuse it all week. Saves me $6 a week.

What about you?

When i'm modding my car (whatever car it may be at the time) i try to find used parts. I'm too cheap to pay retail on new stuff

I'm a cheap bastard by nature.. if theres a way to save a buck i'm all for it

Nothing for me really . I waste a shit load of money . I say it's because I grew up poor and we NEVER had any money . Now I make pretty good money , so I'm making up for when I was a kid lol .

haha....good stuff. I always ask my wife to spend less at the grocery store....that way I can buy more beer.

When I first moved out of my parents house my roommate and I ate nothing but Ramen Noodles for like 2 months. They were 6 for $1. Talk about cheap.
