Am I the cheapest MF here?

Je n'aime pas gaspiller ni me faire fourrer. Donc j'essaye de ne pas gaspiller, principalement par principe et je magasine avant de faire des achats.

Parcontre je ne me considere pas comme un cheap, ca me fait plaisir de dépenser de l'argent et de partager. Quand j'arrive dans un party ou un souper j'ai tjs plus de boisson que ce que je consomme et ca me fait plaisir de prendre le bill quand je suis avec mes chums.

Je considere que l'argent est concu pour etre dépenser MAIS pas gaspiller. Je vais te payer de la biere mais gaspille la pas.

Tu serais surpris de voir tous les personnes qui achètent des trucs à plein prix sans réfléchir et sans vérifier dans d'autre magasin!
 
J'évite le gaspillage et j'essaye d'acheter la bouffe en spécial mais je ne regarde pas les flyers de spéciaux.
Tout est une question de priorité, certains préfèrent rouler en Corolla et manger du homard, d'autres préfèrent rouler en Lexus et manger du porc.

Une chose pour laquelle je ne paierais jamais pour sauf dans un pays où l'eau est non potable, c'est de l'eau en bouteille. Je vais être du genre à acheter une bouteille de jus d'orange et la remplir d'eau aux abreuvoirs pour la suite de mon voyage/séjour hors de chez moi.

I do my absolute best to not waste anything. toothpaste, any hair/cosmetic products.. I paid for it, why not use all of it? The idea of throwing out food actually bothers me. little niggas are starving out there and youre throwing out the rest of your fries because you don't want them anymore? why the fuck you buy them for then?

I like nice things, but i also don't like to have my life be cluttered with material goods. If I want something I see in stores, I sleep on it for a day or two to see if it really is something I need, and if i really do want it, i try to shop online for the same item for cheaper instead of trying to satisfy my instant gratification like i used to do in the past. There is certain things I will cheap out on, things that are "insignificant" and brands dont matter. for instance, im going to south east asia and looked at the OLLOCLIP phone lens for like 70$, but went and got a china brand for 3$ instead.

I won't cheap out on things i use daily like shoes or sunglasses, but i do make sure to get them when on special.

ique-nous ça champion. Je ne manipule aucunement l'article, c'est le commis qui le fait. Il fait l'erreur et je suis gagnant: politique commerciale donnant avantage au client.

Ok so you go to the cash with a 50% off item, hide the 50% so it scans at full price and they don't apply the disount, then go to customer service and complain that it was a price error and get the item for free because it's under 10$ or whatever the limit is.

And somehow, this isn't fraud.

Really.

People like you are why this province is a shit hole.

I'd ask you to kill yourself by drinking some bleach but since bleach is rarely if ever 50% you couldn't pull off your small time scam and so you'd probably never procure it.

This
Même s'il n'enfreint pas forcément la loi, il contourne l'esprit de la loi et profite d'une "faille". À plus grande échelle, avec ce même genre de mentalité les grandes entreprises détournent des millions en impôts impayés.

C'est pas si dur de payer ce qu'on doit me semble.

J'aime pas payer quelque chose plus cher que le prix le plus bas que je serais supposé l'avoir! Je vais toujours faire des recherches intensives pour m'assurer que je payes vraiment le moins cher possible. Parcontre c'est relatif, un sac de chips à 3,49$ au dépanneur ou à 3,29$ à l'épicerie, je me ferai pas chier à aller plus loin et attendre en fil à la caisse! !

3 sacs pour 8$ chez wal-mart = 2,67$. yon pas voulu me le faire chez IGA et leur sac sont a 3,69$. jen achete pu la. sinon ta les marques maison (mais faite par la meme usine sauf épices différentes) a 1,99$ ou moins du sac mais sont moins bonne en générale a part les cheap au sel et vinaigre.

Moi je suis trop paresseux pour retourner mes canettes et bouteilles recyclé. Je les mets au recyclage et un pauvre passe les ramasser...

Au Loblaws/Provigo/Maxi, lorsque je spot un article 50% de rabais, je vérifie toujours l'emplacement du sticker. Une fois à la caisse, je m'arrange toujours pour présenter cet article prêt à scanner pour le commis sans qu'il soit en mesure de voir le sticker-50%. Ensuite, je me présente au service à la clientèle et fais un claim pour une erreur de prix: article gratis. Une fréquence d'un article gratis aux 2semaines.

moi aussi. C'est vraiment de la mauvaise foi.
perso, je préfère downgrader ma voiture et pas avoir à frauder pour payer mon épicerie!! WTF!

@Heavymetal, Est ce que tu spot les sticker sur les melon-d'eau (parce qu'ils sont moins biens collés) pour mettre sur des articles à prix régulier aussi? Laisse tu ta bière sous ton panier dans les caisses self service? Il y a pleins de façon de voller.
 
MR, seul endroit au monde ou tout le monde tip genereusement et font des salaires astronomiques, mais grattent leurs cennes..

So youd rather poison yourself but anything car related you're not cheap? Makes sense

Those meals are full of conservation products. I smelled them and they were still good, otherwise I would have never eated them. You would be surprised how good many product are, even pass the expiration date :) But I understand people who don't take any chances, food poisoning must not be a good feeling, altho I never got that in my life si I wouldn't know.

Je suis ni l'un, ni l'autre si ça peut te consoler.

Mais heavy metal c'est vraiment une marde de profiteur de système. Faut vraiment avoir du culot pour têter le gérant de l'épicerie afin de boucler la boucle de ta fraude. Moi qui pensait que c'était juste les bs qui faisait ca

my brother from a Polish mother

I was about to write the the same thing, in approximately the same words.

There's a difference between frugal, cheap and just a plain a-hole.

What heavymetal does to trick the poor cashier into making a mistake is being an a-hole. In many cases these employees suffer, not so much the store.

Eating 5 days old forgotten Michelinas is being cheap. Eating Michelinas is already being cheap because that shit is plastic with food flavor. Some of them taste good but boy they're horrible for you. There's much better "meal in a box" solutions out there even if they're a little more expensive.

I really hate wasting food or throwing out jars/cans with food still in there. I cheap-out on certain things that I don't care about that much, but food is not one of them, and no one should.

attendre en ligne avec tes canettes pour te faire rembourser 3$....
 
That most likely is due to your parents being like that and they've installed those values on you. Its normal.
