[scousebird]

Not that bad actually

Don't say you've done it?

 

[Northernraider]

How do you know its tight and not living within their means???

Very true

If more of us were tight arses there would be less debt write of companies oot there

Ma mammy used to tell me " look efter the pennies and the pounds will look efter themselves"

Now she calls me tight lol


Cannae win




I say I'm not tight I'm just frugal and not reckless......and patient enough to wait for something at the right price.

Wife's father used to buy baked beans & other stuff from Tesco, peel the price labels off & sell them in his shop. Cheaper than buying from Bookers.

I think its very common these days

He also could've put a new price sticker over the old one. As long as its clearly marked and sold at that price its perfectly legal.

Well maybe not 16 .....but 8 is very much a possibility lol

[Northernraider]

Out walking the dogs and 2 young laddies pass on bikes skiving the school
First one says "what gear are you in?"
Second says "between 7 and 5"
First one says "6 then "

One of them really shouldn't be skiving

I cannot remember how many decades it is since I had an ice cream.

Now that is tight!

 

[Scotch mist]

Only for the first buyer



It sure is. I used to do it all the time when I had my vending machine business. Actually worked out better than using cashncarry for a lot of products plus I got lots extra morrison points.

so little difference from the corner shop , you had overheads & charged for convenience

Common misconception lol
I run a motorhome cause I dinnae hae a hoose

But yeah I can afford a £2 choc ice ....im just not sure id pay £2 for a magnum

They ain't that good lol

 

[TinaLes]

Well Picture this !!!
Stopped to fill van up with diesel on a hot sticky day, wife says when you go in the the shop "Can you get me an ice cream darling"
So, Whilst in the cue, I see the ice cream freezer, and I saw her favourite....An Almond Magnum, I didn't look at the price, cos she is worth it I thought.
I returned to van, gave her the Magnum, got a nice smile & "thank you Darling"
As I was driving, I could see she was "having her moment" enjoying the Magnum, she is pretty expert with them not dropping the chocolate very often.
I was thinking to myself, I wonder if she will remeber to offer me a bite?
Well as she was enjoying the best bit at the end in getting the last thick bit of chocolate off the end of the stick, I asked her "did you enjoy that Darling"?
She said "Yes, it was lovely, just what I needed"
I then said, I am sure it was, as you didn't offer me a bite even!

She's not daft and says, "I didn't want to as you were driving dear"
She then says, do you want one then?
I says, nah tool late now,I aint stoppin just for an ice cream.
She then says.......
"I have just remembered, we have a box of Magnums in the vans freezer!!!!"

Still at least I got five minutes of peace whilst she was eating it

Next time you're having a bad day think of this poor guy

 

[mitzimad]

Its actually illegal to split many multi-packs and sell them individually..BUSBY.

No it isn't illegal once-over purchased itsy ours to do what you want with
The problem for shops is the multi packs only have the legally required details on the outer packaging its selling item without that thats illegal

Well I had a very pleasant night at arbroath ...Nice walk this morning then a nice drive back to mums....how much nicer toby is to drive now with the suspension fixed and all the other little niggles...all in all I was chuffed with a trouble free trip lol

Gets back to mums im draining the waste tank and emptying the fresh tank to flush all the tank cleaner out and when i was taking the cap of the fresh tank I moved the pipe from the pump and got soaked lol

The bloody non return valve I fitted in Germany last October has split ....its a miracle it hadn't leaked water all over the place...

I've been to local plumbers and motor factors and can't get one here ...
So ive ordered a couple on ebay ...fed up with cheap plastic so ive ordered aluminium ones and hopefully they will be less fragile

Will have to just join pipes meantime till it arrives
