Sometimes as we enjoy our frugal lives we push the limit and go past frugality into cheapness. I want to hear some of your stories!
Embarrassing stories welcome! But if you were proud of your cheapskatehood, please share!
I'll go first of course.
Last year I moved into a new office. In one of the drawers was a Valentine’s day card from the wife of the person who used to work in that office. IT was really nice, it played music when you opened it. So when Valentine’s day came around this year, I glued construction paper on the inside and wrote my own message to my wife on it. She didn’t particularly mention anything about it, but…
The second thing is that I make my own lemonade whenever we go out. I order just tap water and a bowl of lemon wedges. Using the lemons and the sugar packets from the table I make my own. This is one I am not ashamed of (learned it from an episode of Extreme Cheapskates).
So what about you guys? Please share some stories!
