re: What is the "cheapest" thing you have done?

This is fricking genius

Tipped a cent at George's (overpass) because the girl taking the order was an absolute bitch. Apparently answering two questions regarding a burger was asking for her to lay down her life or perform rocket surgery or something.

I've only been there once, and the person behind the counter was a complete bitch to me because I wasn't aware you take an order pad from the bar and write down your own order. How dare I speak to her! Who the heck is supposed to know this when they've never been somewhere before?

Pastime does the same thing and was just as rude about it. I just don't get how people are mean to customers that are first timers.

George's on Highland is nothing like this. Their employees are very nice.

Must be really cheap. I like to think of myself as a budget beer aficionado, and I've never even heard of Schaefer beer.

That's all my coon arse grandmother used to drink, except it was Shaefer Light. I asked to try one and couldn't finish it.

I didn't have a car my junior year of college. I finally talked a buddy of mine to bring me to Walmart for groceries. I filled the buggy up pretty full since I didn't know when I would be able to get back to the store, and planned to use my credit card to buy the groceries. Just as the cashier finished ringing it up to about $120 or whatever it was, that's when I realized I forgot my wallet at home. My poor buddy had to buy the groceries and I didn't have any cash at home to give him. It took a few trips to plasma bank to pay him back after that one.

Something I do to this day:

I found a 10 ft phone charging cord at Walgreen's about 3-4 years ago, around 15 bucks. It wore out within months. Went and bought exact same cord, returned old cord in same box the following day saying "i got a new phone" and got a refund.

I've done this 3 times now, about to do it for the fourth


so, paid 15 bucks for 4 phone charging cords

At LSU my roommate and I forgot to pay the electric bill at our apartment complex one time. We solved this small nighttime inconvenience by running an extension cord to an outlet in the hallway next to our entry door - in order to play video games and give ourselves some light.

When I had a meal plan in college I would use a to-go box and fill it up with 2 chicken sandwiches, 2 wraps, and 3 or 4 slices of pizza. Would get 3 or 4 meals out of the 1 meal ticket used.

Worked at my uncle's BBQ joint in high school with several friends. It was on a city line, so I got to co-mingle with girls at the other school, very much a profit.

By far the lowest paying job I ever had, but by far the best. There were a lot of "perks" in that job.
