Top tips for Everyday Cheapskates (and idiots)

[bbchris]

WHEN reading a book, try tearing out the pages as you read

them. This saves the expense of buying a bookmark, and the

pages can later be used for shopping lists.



FOOL other drivers into thinking you have an expensive car

phone by holding an old TV or video remote control up to

your ear and occasionally swerving across the road and

mounting the curb.



DRILL a one inch diameter hole in your refrigerator door.

This will allow you to check that the light goes off when

the door is closed.



SMELL gas? Locate the suspected leak by striking an

ordinary match in every room in the house until a loud

explosion reveals the source of the escaping gas.



AVOID parking tickets by leaving your windshield wipers

turned to 'fast wipe' whenever you leave your car parked

illegally.



TAKE your trash can to the supermarket with you so that

you can see which items you have recently run out of.





NO TIME for a bath? Wrap yourself in masking tape and

remove the dirt by simply peeling it off.



EXPENSIVE hair gels are a con. Marmalade is a much cheaper

alternative, but beware of bees in the summer.



AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF while clumsily slicing vegetables

by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.
