Tight arsed people you know (Or could be yourself)

My New Years Resolution was to buy fuck all this year - except beer and other essentials! I have too many clothes and trainers. Got a telly and laptop. Got a car, road bike, hybrid bike and touring bike. Got a tent, sleeping bag and portable cooking stove. Decided that that’s pretty much everything I need to get to work and back and go on my cycle touring holidays.
So far so good and I’m spending probably on average less than £60/week on food and beer combined. Saved a load of money to splurge on Champions League, FA Cup and a month long cycle tour at the end of it all.
 
I'm tight in some ways I admit.....Now were retired me and the wife go for regular walks near the beach. We like a coffee at some point but we refuse to pay almost $10 for 2 coffee's so we find a 7/11 and buy two $1 coffee's and find a nice bench near the beach. Over the last 2 years of covid I reckon we've saved around $4000.

Walk 5 days a week so $10 a day coffee would be $50 a week = $2500 a year X 2 years = $5000
Minus 5 days @ $2 a day = $10 a week = $500 a year X 2 = $1000

Total saved = $4000.

Ker-ching !!
I'm similar to you in many ways. On match days I walk from the tram to the pub, the trick is to make sure you are last in the door. If for any reason that doesn't happen you just yell out, 'just going for a slash, get 'em in Biggy'
Then you make sure you drink slightly slower than the rest so that one of the others gets the next round in.
Finally make sure you are always with at least 4 others because then you simply say 'shit is that the time, best get going, don't want to mix kick off'

Kerchief, kerching kerfuckingching.
 
Mind you, I know someone that on a previous European trip got the tram in the opposite direction rather than meet up and buy a round.

Either that or I'm a boring bastard.
 
My ex rag wife, bought one thing for the house in 15 years, a red coffee machine.
So when we got divorced (apart from trying to take the money set aside for my kids inheritance) the only thing she took was the red coffee machine.

I’m not tight, just sensible ;-)
She used to be a rag?
Is she a blue now?

You really are tight, you've even saved on a comma, it's we're.
