Title: Take care of the pennies . . .
Post by: Mince on July 24, 2016, 11:38:11 AM
. . . is an amazing motto, and we make sure we don't waste a single penny. My wife is the queen of special deals, two-for-ones, and free meals. We shake our heads at the amount of money others waste - we worked out that my parents literally throw away about £2000 a year for no reason whatsoever, simply because they're too lazy to take care of the pennies.

And where does this ritual throwing away of two grand take place exactly? I'd like a front row seat.

I am cheap in the way I will buy bags of "Christmas" jelly beans on sale after the holidays and separate the green ones from the red and white ones, thus giving me a candy supply for both Valentine's Day and St. Patty's.

Unless you have an anecdote similar to Diane's, front-row seat is in your house.  :)
