The Scotsman again. I do spend money on some things. Nothing flashy and I rarely need to wear new clothes. One thing is my boots. I walk a lot so I wear excellent outdoor boots. Grisport they are. Not exactly cheap at at around one forty squid but I have others that were twice the price and not as good.
Haircuts. I won’t pay stupid prices for what is usually a small trim.
Over priced pre-loved teddy bears, Sindy dolls or other collectible items, I want them as cheap as possible. I don’t buy if they aren’t a reasonable price, no matter how much I want a particular one.
I hate it if I shop around for the best price for something I want then I see it advertised for less than I paid…really annoying. It happened to me recently with a coffee machine… grrrr
I refuse to spend more than a fiver on a kindle book.
That’s what the local library is for!
carrier bags
Anything from M&S!
casual labour , Ive just had a leaflet through the door, £20 per hour for house cleaning and £25 per hr for Garden maintenance… such a rip off .
I refuse to buy Carrier bags advertising that i shop here there and every where.
An old holdall does the job.
Lawyers !!
Dean charges us £12.50/hr for that.
1st class stamps I’m a 2nd class gal
I agree.
The last time I shopped in M&S most of their stuff was British made, and they were still allowed to use the brand names St Michael and St Margaret without fear of offending people!
Hi
Any of the big coffee shop chains, Starbucks, Costa etc.
Very high prices for stuff that is not very good.
I will just say. A ducks butt has nothing on me. Won’t say I’m tight, because I’m xxl tight. In fairness though, I have had to scrimp & scrape most of my life, things have never come easy to me. It could be said, one of life’s. Professional losers. But ever the eternal optimist.
I was thinking about the over priced rubbish in the food hall
Coffee out. Of course I do it sometimes but the price always makes me wince!
A Costas and a toasted teacake in an office I visited yesterday cost me a fiver😡
yes id be happy paying that.
Good man
One thing I really should invest in - is a new keyboard - most of the letters have worn off this one - which results in some seriously weird spellings!
