The Cheapest Person I Know (Pt 2!)
I posted AOL’s list of the cheapest people last year and this year they’ve rounded a new batch. Some of my faves:
Mail Fraud
Submitted by: LoriBNJMy friend’s Dad used to put the person he wanted his mail to go to in the return address area, and purposely forget postage. When it was returned, it wasn’t returned to him; it was brought to the person he wanted to send it to!
Dodging the Check
Submitted by: Deborahctroy
A large group of friends would go out after the theater. One professional man would order the cheapest thing on the menu, then when others were finished eating, he would finish whatever was on their plates. When the check came he would grab it first, then pass it on without putting his money in. When it came back around to him there was always enough to cover the check and tip and he would put in a dollar.
Frugal Extremes

While shopping at a roadside fruit stand, I watched my friend Wally remove the stems from the cherries he was buying. I asked him why and he said they would weigh less at checkout. Wally also only allows his turn signals to flash two times because, according to him, the bulbs will last longer!

….and you didn’t enter M into this competition? You could have swept the top three ranks.
