Take care of the pennies . . .
« 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.

She didn't find him. He was part of a two for one deal.

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.  :)
