CHEAP people....let's see your stories about those frugal folks that were smart or really annoying!
So far, we might have a winner here boys. :lol:
Thought of a couple others....
When I shoot BB guns with the girlfriends' kids, I tape the seams inside a single-wall cardboard box. BB's go in, don't come out, and get reused.
When I go to pick n' pull, I pull all the OEM fuses (Keep an eye out and avoid the Harbor Fright firestarter fuses). I have a huge tacklebox full of fuses, relays, interior bulbs, nuts, bolts, etc. that I take from Pick n' Pull. I have a bucket buddy and the bucket is full of tools, so a few small bits in the bottom are not counted or missed. I do see Mexicans taking brake pads from the junkyard, I'm not THAT cheap (yet). I also cut seatbelts at the Pick n' Pull and use the webbing for making stuff around the house like extension cord hangers, welding-bottle wall-ties (works a trick if you take the buckle, too), and all sorts of crap that needs belting.
I grab all the change out of the ashtrays when I'm at Pick n' Pull. One of these days I'm going to go with the intent of doing nothing but that, and see how much I get.
I use dipstick oil from Pick n' Pull to lube my ratchets and pliers. I use junkyard trunk jacks for foundation jacks on my rental houses.
I'm not so cheap that I'll put the destination address and the return address as the same and then drop it in the mail postage due, but I've heard that works.
Of course, if it's yellow it's mellow, if it's brown flush it down. if my stomach is upset, I'll wait an hour for a followup, just in case. I'm glad I live alone.
I unplug every wall wart transformer and electrical device when not in use. I used the thermal camera on my phone and went after every air leak and power draw I could find.
I bought a wood stove but haven't installed it yet. I need to get that done.
I buy dollar store paper (which is amazingly thin) to print on something if I'm not going to keep it. I'll swap it out for the 'good' paper if needed.
