Tightwad tips

[Exupnut]

After having a dump. Maybe on the second or third wipe, which depends on the Chilli content of last nights curry. Tear off 1 sheet of tissue, after wiping, fold in half and wipe again. This has saved me several pounds in the last 20 years or so. Also it has strengthened my hand shake.

Save money on expensive binoculars - simply stand closer to the object you wish to view.

DON'T waste money on expensive iPods. Simply think of your favourite tune and I hum it. If you want to "switch tracks", simply think of another song you like and hum that instead.[/size]

Use vinegar as a lime scale remover, added bonus your house smells like a chip shop.

Mum mixes vinegar and lavender oil (the latter for the smell!) as a cheaper source of fabric softener

Simply Sellotape two planks of wood to your feet, sit in your freezer for three hours, then run into a tree as fast as you can.

is there anyone who will say they bought a pair of heated grips from hong kong for £2:49, if so did they work? was thinking of getting some then chuck them next spring, only go out in the dry, don't mind the cold as long as it doesn't snow.

Not so much a tightwad tip,more a bit of a tightwad rant...it's those people that,in order to avoid buying them,read the newspapers in the supermarket.(not the ones that pick it up & step back a bit,they can read them all day to their hearts content for all I care),no it's the ones that insist on leaving the paper on the display stand & flicking thru it like it is on their kitchen table >:Then when you want a copy of same paper to put in your trolley you have to try to rummage it out from underneath 'their' copy whilst trying not to disturb their reading too much,while at the same time suffering a disapproving glance >:I just grab the one they are reading now & hope it REALLY annoys them! .
