Stingiest thing you've seen someone do

[Lord Commander Palis]

It was solid. I would have needed an icepick to chip away at it.



Nah. I only eat 2 meals a day. So I need at least 1200 calories per sitting.

Why only 2 meals?

 

[faustian]

LOL how fat are you?

lmao

 

[mister who]

Why only 2 meals?

Because I stay full for a long time. I eat a lot of fiber too so things get moving in there but nope. Only really get hungry during lunch and at night.

Not fat at all. I need all the calories to maintain my weight. So I focus on extremely calorie dense foods.

Red meat and pork are calorie dense foods.

You just eat like shit.

Long time ago at work we did a Secret Santa gift excange max was $20.

Cuban milf had this cheap Dominican guy but she for got to buy him a gift so she apologize to him and gave him a $20 bill.
Turns out the Dom. guy had me and he also forgot to buy a gift so he got change for the $20 and gave me $15. He mad five bucks!
The reason I remember this is because when the Cuban Milf found out she was pissed and she ripped him a new one.

Last thing I remember was when my mother decided to take me out for lunch for my birthday and the food and service were great, and the bill was like $38.40 and she left $1.60 tip. The waitress I could tell was not happy but sucked it up and said thanks.

I waited for my mother to leave and get towards the door and I discretely left $10 on the table.

My friend in this story isn't particularly cheap, but he was pretty drunk:

We went to the bar for a few hours, and his bill came out to 39 bucks and change. He gave the girl 40, and was ready to leave. On the way out the door, I gave her a 20 and apologized for my friend being so cheap. The service was fantastic, I just think my buddy was drunk and didn't even think about the tip.

When I buy books I try to find people who took the course ahead of me, not a problem if you know other students in your program, and offer them cash for the books. Because the school's bookstore buys back books at a lowball rate but charge high ass prices for them.

If I can't manage to do that I buy those international editions online for 1/3 of the cost. But you have to be careful because a lot of the homework problems on those have different figures and values. So I try to avoid it whenever possible.

I work during the summers and part time when I have an easy schedule, have a scholarship and receive federal grants but still I'm poor as shit. I don't know how other people have so much damn money while attending school.

I feel your pain man, I get scholarship/Fafsa money every time, but the fucking books sink me. I usually manage by buying it from people like you do, but this semester my asshole management 312 professor requires us to buy a piece of shit textbook (that he wrote just this year of course, so no used copies) for $220.

Earlier today I went to McDonald's for breakfast after work, and the guy in front of me was debating with the cashier whether or not to get the hashbrown with his McMuffin.

He ended up splurging and getting the hashbrown, saving him a whopping 39 cents because the cashier told him, "It's always cheaper to get the combo."

Cheapest, most miserly thing I've ever seen was an older dude, the stepdad of a friend of mine. The snack he'd have at his house was a bag of pretzels; they were about a buck a bag as opposed to Doritos or some other luxury snack. That's not it though.

When the dude got to the bottom of a bag of pretzels, he couldn't bear to throw out the extra salt that had fallen off the pretzels. He saved it and used it to salt his food.

This wins hands down. LOL.

We have the cloth rags in the kitchen at work to do the dishes. We have like hundreds of them, a company comes to pick them up and washes them for us. When they come back clean, a coworker takes a bunch and brings them into the bathroom with him. I noticed this a few times and went to check in the bathroom when he left. They are no where to be found, so i'm assuming he hides them under his clothes and steals them.

We suspect that same guy to pick his nose and wipe his fingers on the wall next to the toilet. He doesnt work in our department but he always comes in our washroom. The wall has boogers everywhere and we need to clean it. When he left on leave for a couple of months there was no boogers to be seen. When he came back, the boogers came back.

I've known some epically cheap people. Their stories aren't as clever as the others here, but some of them are pretty low. One of my buddies used to substitute a meal every once in a while for salt and ketchup packets at fast food restaurants. These people aren't poor either. I guess the cheapness bug is just something people are born with.

 

[Quanta]

Nothing wrong with that.

I refuse to eat anywhere with mandatory tips. Funny, because I usually tip 20% minimum. However, I refuse to be forced to.

I remember my mom stealing ketchup (the full bottles, not packets) from restaurants when I was a kid. Also, occasionally silverware.

What's wrong with it is that she's a "pastor" and yet hating.

I was already one hour late to meet my friends for a camping trip so I was in a massive rush when I went grocery shopping.

When I went to pay I chose the shortest line at the checkout. Only one woman ahead of me. Unfortunately the woman was some kind of extreme coupon user. She literally had coupons for every single thing she bought. And she was arguing with the cashier that she wasn't getting enough discounts. At one point they had to get the manager because of an argument over 8 cents.

As the minutes ticked by I kept thinking of grabbing my stuff and going to a different cashier, but every time I was about to move people would join the other line. But they'd still get out quicker than me. So finally I made the move. By the time I left 17 minutes had passed and she finally had her total. Her bill was $14. She may have been crazy cheap and fairly inconsiderate, but she did save a lot of money.

I'd rather focus on how to earn more money, than save the leftover salt from pretzels and some of the other shit you've guys posted. Nothing worse than tightwads. Nothing.

I'm glad to know we have the future Warren Buffet in Sherdog.

The stingiest thing I've seen is Singaporeans filling up on petrol in Malaysia. Petrol is cheaper in Malaysia than Singapore, so It's not weird or particularly stingy to go there and fill up to save money, I saw the same thing at the Republic of Ireland/Northern Ireland border.

However, these antics to get more petrol in the car are ridiculous....
some kind of bro science method to make more room in the tank
And btw its really common to see this.

Look online man. I've been pleasantly surprised many a time at what was available in some places. Served me well my first couple of years, before the books were being written by the professors themselves.

My school used to also have a "return the dining hall dishes without penalty" day.

Something about having your plate and eating it too, lol.
