Hmmm. i dont think I am that much of a cheapskate myself.. however just to add flavor:
1)I pick up lead wheel weights.. which are being banned .. soon they might be worth something
2) I cast lead bullets from wheel weights (see #1)
3) I reload .38/.357 bullets ( see 1 and 2)
I will begin doing this ... just makes sense4) I drive a motorcycle to work daily and use it when I can instead of the truck
5)I build my own computers
6)I shop for many things on the web versus the box stores
7) I use Vonage as my phone service, and have it connect to the house phone wiring, if you didnt know you would think is was normal house wired phone
8) I DO NOT have a smart phone and thus no "data Plan"
9) I have a programmable thermostat to control the house AC/Heat.. and I program it to save me money
10) every room save the bathrooms has a ceiling fan, even the kitchen
11) I dont worry about my hair... its gets cut when the wife complains.. about once every other month cuts are $12 at the BARBER ( not that Style shop)
clippers less than $20 @ Wallyworld; one time purchase; buzz your own head & save $100+ a year !12) I use na electric shaver, which is now about 5 years old. I buy new blades on the web for $28... last about a year
13) i ran all my own ethernet wiring and set up multiple routers, AP's, switches and a server.
14) I make my own coffee every morn... @ $5 per cup from Starbucks.. I figure I save $15 per day!
15) all lights are CF ... excpet for the new LED one
I avoid CF if possible; mecury poisoning if comtaminated ... not good16) i use a $99 pressure washer to wash off the roof. This keeps the leaves and crap from piling up which leads to a quicker deterioration of the shingles. Also good for the gutters and driveway.
17) i wash my own car/truck at home
18)I own and use re-chargable batteries for near about everything
19) i belong to a credit union. Visa rate is 8%, so is the personal loan. I try to keep such things to minimum...
