Nsom:
1) I ABSOLUTELY ignore the expiration dates of ANYTHING - drugs OR food!!! That's all a croc of crap designed to get you to buy more. Consequences? Haven't been sick a day since the 1980's!
2) Whenever I'm near a Good Will store, I stop in and see if I can find anything that looks good for almost nothing. But, that's not enough.... I dicker!
3) I keep the little bars of soap when they are too small to hold onto. Eventually, I get enough of them that I press them altogether to gain a whole bar of soap. I got that idea from another cheapie.
4) My present billfold is now in its 16th year. It's come apart in several places, but I use glue to put it back together. Of course, this is less about being cheap and more about being in love. How can I not love something that has been affixed to my butt for 16 years without complaining once???
5) I only drink Diet Pepsi or Sierra Mist. But, since I'm cheap, I only buy it in 2 liter bottles. But, since I'm REALLY cheap, I only buy the Sam's generic version of each... 52 cents per 2 liter bottle.
I could go on for a week, but you get the idea.
