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.

If your using anymore than 1 sheet of toilet paper you are doing it wrong :
Pull off one sheet, fold it into a quarter, rip off one corner so it leaves a hole in the middle, which you can then duly insert your index finger through.
You can now proceed to wipe your crack and hoop with your index finger, and when your done you can clean your finger with the piece of paper towel which is around your finger... Oh, and the corner you ripped off? Ideal for getting the shit from under your fingernail :rollin

One sheet of paper is made from 2 smaller sheets - hence 2 ply or 2 sheets
Using 1 sub sheet and folding in half for a second wipe = 2 wipes. The second sub sheet provides a further 2 wipes. Total of 4 wipes from 1 sheet.

Bloody he'll. I'm among real tight wads. I could've saved pounds if I'd known about this earlier

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][size=13px]

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

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

Experience the thrills of a skiing holiday without the expense.
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.
Re: Tightwad tips - YamFazFan - 16-10-14
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! :lol.

Garden hose - cut and split down its length - makes a rim protector for the DIY tyre changers.
