Draggletail Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Clothes, lifestyle, food, car etc, or whatever you can think of. I don't mean how cheap are you based on income or financial means, more your attitude regarding money and spending I'm pretty cheap. I don't go to the cheapest supermarket but I live in Levi jeans, T-shirts, sweatshirts, and Reebok trainers. I have a few John Rocha shirts that I haven't worn in a long time. If I eat out in the afternoon it would likely to be something like Subway. So, I'd class myself as pretty cheap. (Or maybe I'm just a tight Yorkshireman!)

Ridgewalk Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Wear hand me downs from my fashion obsessed stepson consequently I look like the oldest swinger in town. I use public transport daily ( almost), I buy second hand books and like day trip buses with the rest of the hoi peloi . Good grub is wasted on me no idea what it is. Like chip shop chips. I’d hitch hike all the time if I wasn’t risking public humiliation and dodgy looks from police. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick with the Levi's is making them last, and that's not hard to do, thankfully! Budgie going cheap, only just got that... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I “re tweet” this? Agreed PRESLEY, Levi’s are expensive, as are Reebok trainers. But they all work out cheaper in the long term as quality lasts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so “careful” when I was on the buses that I used to peel an orange in my pocket while wearing a boxing glove so that my conductor didn’t know I’d got one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard that for years, but people did used to talk about being "careful" with money, yes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackey lad Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 As tight as a gnats chuff me . Don't like spending money ,even other peoples . I wanted some new boots this year and mi Mam said she would buy me some for my birthday . Out shopping with her and saw some for £150 . I said I'm not spending that on some boots , mi Mam said you're not spending it , I am . Got some for £50 . Recently bought a nice summer shirt from the charity shop paid £4 . I've never heard of the name so googled it , exact same shirt £95 . Only thing I don't mind flashing the dough on is the Good Lady and the Grandkids . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd kill for a good portion of chips with curry sauce or peas! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
