The Official BITOG Cheapskate Thread

[Mr Nice]

Don't forget all the Buy 1, Get 1 Free deals that you can stock up on. Plus if you use coupons with these B1G1F deals.... its like saving 60-70% off regular price. I do this all the time at Publix.

BTW, Walmart will 'price match' any sale ad from another grocery store, even the Buy 1 Get 1 Free deals.

Lufthansa has had four crashes since 1959. Compare that to other airlines.

buy food at one fast food place and go to sonic during happy hour to get half priced drink.... I get the food first so they don't see the big sonic cup sitting there

Not everything in there interests me, but I did get a Gates belt wear measuring tool for free, but I don't remember if I saw the listing for that on slickdeals or here.

The muffler fell of Mr. Benny's Maxwell. Last week I showed up at AAP with a 5 year old muffler off my 77 LUV and the receipt. They are lucky I lost the last 2 receipts.

 

[eljefino]

LOL I got a free muffler out of NAPA but had to buy a clamp. A $27 liftime warranty tie rod end from another store, with 6 yr and 65k miles wore out and got upgraded to a free $61 MOOG.

And Labman aren't you the one who "rebuilds" muffler clamps out of threaded rod?

 

[labman]

Yes, but it may not be cost effective. I start with plain rod and thread it. Takes maybe 10 minutes. But at least I am nit trying to sort out 13 mm, half inch, 9/16'', etc.

I just bought an Antec Neo Eco 400W Power supply from Newegg.com for $35 with free shipping, about 3 weeks ago. Normally it is $65 with $8 shipping. Also bought a pair of Sennheiser headphones from there for $23 free shipping. Normally $39 and like $6 shipping.
