complete the sentence.... you can use "I", "DH", or "SO" if you like!

"I am so cheap that....

I use permanent magic marker to touch up black shoes!
I use white out to touch up dents and nicks on white toe moulding!
I buy Fruit of the Loom women's underwear!

Come on... there are at least 21 cheapskates who viewed this and no one will admit it?

I'm not cheap...just "thrifty"

I'll have to ask dh for examples...he laughs at me often and I just don't get why, lol

KarenJ_NY · 05-04-2005, 05:43 AM

I guess I thought of one...

I'm so cheap that when I take the kids shopping, instead of asking if I will buy them something they say "can I scan this and see if it's on clearance" or "do you have a coupon for this?"

**BC-MAV** · 05-04-2005, 05:56 AM

Oh, yea, I forgot... we are not "cheap," we are "thrifty"... that dress was not "cheap", it was "inexpensive"... and the car was not "used", it was "pre-owned" !

I’m so cheap that:

I embarrass my dh asking for discounts on stuff that isn’t on sale
I’ll NEVER pay more than $1.00 for breakfast cereal and cringe when I see people pay full price
I spend hours on frugality websites
I research almost all purchases for the best deal
I do way too many cost/benefit and return on investment analyses.
I buy nearly all my clothes at resale shops or on clearance. NEVER full retail

Ok...I'm so cheap that I would never pay more than sales tax for deodorant,body wash, toothpaste, shampoo, hair dye, etc

Same here, although we don't have a sales tax in Oregon.

I'm so cheap that when I want to go the movies, I either go to the 2nd run theater (all tickets $2.50!) or to the bargain matinee ($5 tickets before 6 pm) at 1st run theaters.

I'm so cheap that I now almost never buy anything that isn't on sale and almost always use coupons.

I'm so cheap that save all our change, roll it and deposit it to savings every month or two.

I'm so cheap that I consign any old toys/books/vidoes that my kids don't use anymore. I also consign clothes that don't fit and baby equipment we don't need anymore.
