''You're so bad with cash the only way you'll get a small fortune is if you start with a large one''

8%.

I'm shocking with my money, earning a decent wage but just far too over-zelous with it and spend a fair bit on things I don't need. My New Year's resolution is actually to start saving £50 - £100 a week which should be manageable. I'm never, ever skint but i'm not wise at all with my cash.

Some of the questions should be on a 'How strange are you?' poll not 'How tight are you?'

I mean looking for receipts in bins? Seriously?

Yeh, I thought that. "How anally retentive are you" and "How badly do you suffer from OCD" could also be poll titles with some of those questions

36% for me

On the subject whats the tightest thing youve ever done?
In my job I get gifts from salesmen and suppliers in the lead up to xmas, usually this is bottles of wine/spirits (3 or 4 bottles).

These get put in a bottle bag and handed out as gifts on xmas day to relatives. :greengrin

If you have a season ticket for Easter road, that should immediately put you under 10%.

:agree:

Although squeezing every last drop out of a box of wine is perfectly acceptable :wink:

I answered yes to that question. I've never done exactly what it said but when I bought Fifa 12 Tesco were printing £5 off vouchers after every transaction so I went to the self service tills to pick one up before I bought Fifa.

Why would you put milk in cereal in the first place when tap water is free? :confused:

Now that really is a personal question. But to be a good sport and without giving too much away, lets just say I'm still continent.

"You're a little loose with your cash, a bit of belt tightening wouldn't hurt."
