The deal was if one bought a beverage they got orange juice for $1 instead of $2.50..... They cause a huge scene, cops called, guy put in handcuffs, searched, has at least $1,000 on him and she is there shouting while videoing also.... In the end after all the shouting and the stress they pay and go on their way..... Now that's pure stinge.

Back when I was around 21 with friends he would go around to everyone in our group and ask do you have 2 euro handy as I've only a 20 euro note and don't want to split it if we were at the shop. When no one would give him anything he would ask for a drink of your lucozade are a bite of your chocolate bar. He's still like this today 8 years later but more secretive about it. He would get absolutly sloshed at home before meeting us in the pub and sip away at a large bulmers for most of the night. He has a hip flask with him as well. An ex work collegue went to Dunnes every day and buys a large roll, tomato, slice of ham every instead of just buying one at the Deli and makes her roll in the canteen. I don't get why she didn't just bring in a packed lunch or leave a few bits in the fridge for the week. I think her reasoning was she was afraid they would be robbed from the fridge! She's probably the smart one where she's paying probably 1.50 and I'm paying 4.50! One I forgot, a local woman brings her own tonic to the pub. Orders the gin allright but says i have my own tonic thanks very much.

Take this to an even more unrealistic extreme, maybe the publican would like to stop you using matches, to light your cigarette, that you didn't buy in the pub to light your cigarette.

Whenever I get a Chinese, Thai or Indian takeaway, I will refrigerate leftovers and eat the next day instead of binning it, including her leftovers. If the food comes in those plastic tubs with a lid, I will rinse them and reuse them as a lunch box or sewing kit or flower tray instead of binning it. I insist on using the clothes line or clothes horse instead of the dryer to save money where possible. I recently got my yearly bonus in work and the majority went straight into the credit union. I dilute the soap bottles with water. I use the chicken bones and remnants to make a nice broth. I have reduced my speed in the car to 90 km/h on the motorway with cruise control to save fuel.

Freeze stock in them or use them in the shed for storing screws an washers etc. If the food comes in those plastic tubs with a lid, I will rinse them and reuse them as a lunch box or sewing kit or flower tray instead of binning it.

I MAY donate to another on occasion if I feel it is worth while. But, there are too many popping up, and some for causes I don't agree with, so should we donate to every latest charity that comes along? It's up to each individual to choose what and how much they donate.
