Making a rusty nail ?I just spent an hour trying to find a cheaper alternative to Drambuie for a recipe.
Meanwhile the wife has been out and bought a bottle in that hour.
$50.00. I could have bought a bottle of Glayva for $40.00
Some fancy baked beans affair with bacon, and ground beef.Making a rusty nail ?
I’d go with my suggestion.Some fancy baked beans affair with bacon, and ground beef.
Because tightness is a disease blinds people. My nanna was the same.Met a friend of mine at the petrol station in Asda. Said to him I didn't realise you shopped here. He said he didn't, he just came through every Saturday to fill his car up. So, I says you only live a mile away from the local Jet garage. He replied that Asda was 3p a litre cheaper than the local Jet garage just around the corner from his.
Walked away wondering why make a 22 mile round trip to save 3p a litre???
But your old man is not tight. As you say he grew up in a big family with little money. I grew up in the 60's in a small family with no money. You learnt to understand money and more importantly understand not having money. It stays with you.I used to think my old man was quite tight when I was growing up. I mean to be fair we never wanted for anything and lived a nice lifestyle it was just the way he is. He grew up in a council house with a big family and had very little. He then formed his own company and has done very well for himself. He has the occasional splurge and has a lovely house and cars etc. But he still shops in primark etc and will rock up to meet me in a pair of Slazenger trainers.
Guy I used to work with was as tight as a ducks arse. Would keep his Tin foil to wrap his sandwiches in. Would use it all week.
