I've known this for a long time, but I love spending money on worthless stuff. I'm a guy that likes to shop (go figure). Anyhow, I wanted to put this thread together for people to admit just one way that makes them a "Cheapskate". It can be anything from stealing toilet paper rolls to shopping at the thrift store. Like always I'll get the ball rolling.. About a year ago I went to walmart and bought a thing of electric clippers. I've not been to the barbershop since. (I cut my own hair). Back when I did get my hair cut I would go to "barber colleges" and let them do it for $5.00, but now I'm too cheap for that.
Uhhhhh I try to make all of my food instead of buying it... I worked in kitchens a lot growing up, some dodgy business go down.
i always wondered if anybody else did that. i wont buy anything besides Rhoto's, but hell, i guess i technically dont even buy those.
QFTFT same here, people have NO idea, absolutely NO idea what they're eating. I've served somethings that made me ashamed.
And so you should be. People that fuck with other people's food should be shot. I have to go to the store but WAY too baked for movement.
I've never fucked with someone's food before. given someone a fork that dropped on the ground? yep. do it all the time (sorry guys...) I'm a cheapskate when it comes to my casual clothing. I will invest in nice egyptian cotton bedding, designer dress clothes, designer makeup (I use Dior mascara), name brand shoes.... but I have no issues wearing second hand jeans originally from JC Penney or something. I mean I guess that isn't even that bad. but I dunno. if you ask any of my friends, they'll probably tell you I'm high maintenance. so this is my dirty little secret
I found some pretty legit stuff from the Thrift store. MY nike slides for like $12. GREAT deal! They were in excellent condition too. Also, my moccasins that sometimes go for like $20 in some stores, I copped for $8. They also have some pretty cool hats, shirts, and random other stuff. I like shopping at Thrift stores sometimes, but most of the time it's like stuff from the 70's. But it's all good, nobody's making me buy it lol. I wouldn't say I'm a cheapskate though, because whenever I have large sums of spending money, I tend to do it big. But I see nothing wrong with shopping from a Thrift store once in a while!
I have a pen fetish. Whenever im out to eat somewhere and the waiter brings me my check to sign i always sign and leave really quick because I love stealing their pens to add to my stolen pen collection. Some pens are really expensive at the store (like $5 for one) so im gonna need to take that. MUAHAHAHAA
Hmm...I'm soo cheap, but of course I can't think of anything right now... I always insist on making my own decorations for my house...then never get around to it for months. But really--I'm going to sew curtains today. I refuse to pay more than $15 for any article of clothing. My clothes aren't bad, either. I also make almost all of my own jewelry...and honestly, my style's not bad. I only wear cheap make-up. But this is probably the worst thing...I bring a water bottle full of a mixed drink in my bag to the bar and pour it into a cup when the bartender's not looking. Fuck paying $3 for a drink...I need at least 3 to have fun!!! Hmm...I need to get a job and stop doing all of these things.
[quote name='"BA142"']Quality > Quantity Smoke dank, and don't buy Kia's[/quote] This. Haha as an example, a couple years ago I spent $60 on a belt, which is a lot, but I've had it for four years, which is better than buying multiple cheap belts. Hell, same goes with everything. Grass, glass, cars, tires, everything xD
Dude my friends a cheap bitch.. im the opposite.. You see.. I have a nice Job .. So ill never understand why hed rather drive 2 hours at 3 in the morning to my house after a rave when were both burnt and coming down... when the hotel wouldve been like 20 bucks ea... Gosh Darn It. Man.
I'm pretty cheap when it comes to clothes. I have like 5-7 shirts that I actually wear. 1 pair of jeans that actually fit. Couple jackets for winter. 2 pairs of shoes. I'd rather buy something for my car or buy an event ticket.
