While I appreciate your point,
and agree that some peoples money saving efforts can really piss you off, I can't help but notice that the people who say 'it's only money' etc are the people who have the most.

I currently earn twice what I did 5 years ago. This means that I am now in the position where I can decide to go out for dinner if I can't be bothered to cook, buy new clothes on a whim, that kind of thing. However I haven't forgotten what it was like to have to stand there and decide whether to buy a loaf of bread or a pint of milk because I couldn't afford both.

I understand that many people are reusing teabags not because they are tight but because they are skint. Believe me, £2 for a box of teabags is a lot when you don't have it.

Well done you for earning a good wage, being able to afford a fast car and to look after your family, but please understand that some people don't, and once you have been in the situation where you just don't know how you are going to make it to payday it is hard to throw money around.

Mrs. E
you have just disproven this - www.b3ta.com/questions/savingmoney/post1429717.
Were my missus not sitting behind me, I was single, you were single & lived somewhere close-by I would be on your doorstep with a bunch of flowers serenading you.
EDIT: Upon drunken reading I did mean "disproven" - you show that Mr Entity is a lucky, spendthrift guy.
