Back in the 90s, an early separation (or divorce) was not a good reason to return china to Eaton's. You had to be genuinely dissatisifed with the merchandise. Their guarantee was not unconditional.
You know you are a cheap bastard when ...

Gentleman, I had to go back in this thread to check out the pic that Blackrock13 had in his quoted response.
I totally deserve it
I can tell you that even though Jessica is not a spring chicken, she'll still make heads turn just like any hot 20-something year old. She's petite and sexy, and a delight to be with . She truly spins on you and finished me like no other gal just in her unique, sideways RCG. (Yes I did review her but I had to say it again cuz her presence in this thread is pleasantly distracting me too).
If you sample and don't buy anything you're a cheap bastard, but I always get their samples, and if I like it I usually end up buying the product they're sampling, so it's definitely worthwhile for Costco. They take into account all the cheap bastards who are just there to get free samples without ever considering buying the product, and it's still very cost effective for them to give out their samples. I wouldn't have bought many of the items I did if it weren't for the samples.
My nephew who is 14 has quite a little scam going, he goes to the pickering flea market when they have all the cosmetics sale going on. He buys the hair dye for like 3 boxes for 10 bucks. He then walks to shoppers drugmart and walmart and return them for 10 bucks each, he just says he bought the wrong colour. He only gets store credit at walmart but shoppers just gives him his cash back.
There is a show on TLC called extreme cheapskates it starts this week sometimes. Last season they had a family who saved on toilet paper by using face clothes,and they would just throw them in a bucket and wash them daily. Another guy would just ride around town on his bike and try to find loose change by vending machines, laundry machines, booths in restaurants, payphones.

Not really. Say the UPC code is the same, then the flea market item might have an imminent best before date, whereas fresh SDM store stock might have 12-24 months left. Only the manufacturers batch code contains the relevant date code information and that is not scannable and would not mean much to the store clerk. It would mean something to the manufacturer after it is returned as bad goods, but by that time it is too late!
Although I dont agree with this tactic, it does show that they are savy with $. Some of the richest people I know are also the most cheap I know. I know one guy who hunted and poached deer/moose/rabbit.....basically anything etible. He also ran a food truck....guess what people were eating when he served "veal on a bun"? This same individual would also crush pop cans top to base and mix them in with his crushed beer cans to get full refund at the beer store. He has sinced passed away but left his wife will millions in assets and cash.
Only thing that would make it better would be the ass shot with slightly reddened cheeks.

Just because I know everybody will appreciate this post getting another bump . . .
As long as I have a face Miss Jessica, you'll always have a place to sit down.

I know of a guy working a foodbank in Quebec where he would see people go from the food back right SAQ Booze store across the way. And not just once or twice.
