    beat this for being cheap.....

    The grocery store gives you 5 cents off per bag for bringing in your own canvas bags. The old lady in front of me has 5 items and 5 bags, she wants one item per bag so she can get 25 cents off of her order !

    It gave me a good laugh !

    Wow. That lady could live the rest of her life on a 20 spot if she had to. Hats off her to frugal old @ss.

    She probably peels the sticker off bananas or apples to lessen the weight at the checkout counter.

    Not worth the time of keeping up with the 5 bags. The business will soon catch on and limit her action. She will then have saved a total of about $10 in her lifetime. But I guess it gives her some meaning in her daily life.
