A Current Affair put out a search for who is Australia's biggest Cheapskate. I didn't enter as I didn't figure I would have too much to contribute and was a bit embarrased but by watching these I don't see that I am any different from them.
From cashing in cans, buying discounts, doing online surveys and selling stuff on ebay I've done it all and still am. A few of the things that they do which I also do is -
A variety of online survey's to get points and cash rewards and also gift cards for various shopping places.
I too will collect odd cans in the street that I see lying around. I figure it's helping clean up the street. I got 10 cans in a day so that's $1 in my pocket. Ps "Matthew" you left your bottle... LOL
I always manage as I have posted before to spot a bargain while shopping. Meat is good only if you look at the 'kg' price. There's no point buying something that is $5 off if the price per kg is still $22. I rarely pay more than $12 for a kg of meat.
The only thing I don't do is go through the side rubbish to get stuff to resell but I have picked up a few things to keep. I remember only a few months ago saying to my mum outloud. I'd really love a full length mirror on a stand I will start looking around for one. 10 minutes later as I drove her to the train station there was one on the side of the road. She is probably still gobsmacked!
