daib0 Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 So I've just done this quiz by that money saving guy Martin Lewis to see how tight I was ... Just how tight are you lot then? Try it at http://mse.me/tight and please let on ... --------------------------------------------------------------- good bit of fun! here's mine: You are 15% tight "You need to tighten up - you're flushing money down the loo.

markjazzbassist Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 42% tight. You're frugal, you're thrifty, but on this site that's a little bit fab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 10%. But had to answer yes to "Have you ever sneaked your own crisps, drinks or sweets into the cinema?" But that's not "sneaking" it's common sense, why would anyone pay the 400% mark-up in the foyer when you can nip into the supermarket on the way?

Hafnia Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 4% I was in M&S food the other day and wanted to knock the shit out of a group of people. I was nearly pushed out the way by 4 nob heads.... i thought someone famous was there.... turns out the woman was putting mark down stickers on food. Absolutely embarrassing. They were snatching them out her hands. It was the look on their faces... just greed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vranny Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 37% - "You're a little loose with your cash - a bit of belt tightening wouldn't hurt." Feel like I'm on the high end of the scale for a young 'un. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 If someone had told me I'd ever buy a pair of £100 shoes I'd have collapsed laughing, but today I did (admittedly reduced to £50 in the sale at Clarks). Actually if anyone had told me I'd spend £50 on a pair of shoes I'd have giggled a lot. Was getting my wife a pair of boots (£82 from £125) for her fiftieth birthday....we were going to Marrakesh but have had to cancel due to family stuff. Maybe I'm not as tight as I think, needs work; bloody amazing pair of shoes though! Funny thing was I was wearing my falling apart counterfeit Converse bought in Greece last summer while trawling expensive shoe shops in Bath, wife trying to pretend she didn't know me .
