How does budgeting make you a scumbag?

im amusing hes the type that goes to a party and doesn't bring anything, but drinks/eats everything. or when the homies want to go bowling hes the guy that says "its okay ill watch"

when i used to eat at mickey d's, i would save money by ordering a mcdouble, replacing the bun with the quarter pounder bun, adding mac sauce and shredded lettuce and the end product would be a ghetto big mac

I do this minus the quarter pound bun. Didn't know u could do that.

I pay with exact change cause I hate carrying change around.

steal tp/paper towels from work

I use my work printer to print personal things.

I hate tipping but I still do tip. I usually only tip big for my barber or tattoo artist.

Never thought of it to be the same but I will now purchase the store brand products

Super America rewards card gets me 3 cents off per gallon. That's all I can think of.

Honestly I just exercise common sense when I make a purchase.

1. Unless I'm strapped for time, I buy my food and drinks at grocery stores like Fry's(Kroger in other parts of the country) and Costco. Safeway and Albertsons are too expensive for me.

2. When buying clothes or shoes I'll try them out in the store and almost always find them cheaper online.

3. Slickdeals usually has decent deals on things like socks, undershirts and boxers

4. Never buy anything from Best Buy unless its extremely discounted. 99% of my electronic purchases happen online

5. One thing I've learned over the years is that quality is important. When I buy something I want it to last awhile vs buying something cheaper and replacongnit several times. There is nothing wrong with spending a little extra for proven quality and longevity

Underpay my workers and let my customers compensate the rest of their wages through tips.

Win win situation for me because I don't appear unethical to americans for not paying MY workers.. my CUSTOMERS who don't tip do!!!

More money for... less money for my workers, and even less money for my customers.

nice one.

I save money by always filling up when my gas tank hits a half of tank.

I make my own coffee at home every day

buy a $8 can of beans from Trader Joes, grind them in home, and brew my coffee every morning.. beasts a $4 cup of sbux

 - my girl and I always only order 1 soda at restaurants  too 

 

[flacobey]

I'm pretty good with math off the top of my head, so when I'm in the grocery store I'll compare weights of food products to make sure I'm getting the most relative to the weight/price.

never buy napkins for the apartment or the car, just use the ones i get from fast food restaurants

never order drinks while out, always water.

Yup.

 

[Chopper]

I hate associating with cheap bastards, therefore I hate being an NTer.

 

[D.Josey]

Didn't get a haircut for 2 years.

Could never do this. Two weeks is bad enough. That feel of hair on your neck :x

Now cutting your own hair is a completely different story.

 

[sixfootnathan]

[nvwssv]

Steal hot sauce bottles from places like Qdoba, Nandos, etc. 

 

[dipsetgeneral]

I'm cheap all around.

 

[picasso swerve]

I think im quite wasteful actually, I dont try to save paper towels or whatever, I have that buy new mentality.

Only penny pincher I do is never buying ketchup cause I rack up the packets from wherever I go. I also grab sugar packets for coffee when im at a cafe and some plastic spoons and forks. Usually leave it in my bag incase I forget to bring a spoon to work.

"I dont like yall +dudes+ round me/ Broke people make nervous"

 

[DCAllAfrican]

winner.



I never order a drink at restaurants, just water.

Same here, but that is because I just drink water. Don't do it to save money.

Some of the stuff yall are naming isn't CHEAP forreal

 

[Nouss]

I prefer to drink water while I eat, even if I have to buy bottled water. Drink a soda or shake afterwards.

But I do a lot of stuff posted like reusing paper towels as long as theyre just moist with water.
Got hella rubber/plastic tupperwear from the chinese joint.

 

[friscostylez]

i'm surprised nobody said this yet but I pre-game extra hard so i don't spend as much at whichever spot/s i end up at that night.

 

[generationz]

I take brand new bottles of Tabasco from chipotle and a gang of napkins lol

It's harder to be cheap than spend money on paper towels or whatever. My dad was reallllly cheap growing up and I don't *** with him so I think naturally I'm the opposite because I never want to be like him.
