[quote=Anonymous]It's for frugality bragging rights and a sense of one-upmanship. Even if they are well-off. I knew a couple in their 70s who were multi-millionaires and yet when dining out, the man (a retired CEO) would order a glass of plain water and then ask for several lemon wedges and a sugar packet. He'd make his own lemonade. He was literally gleeful that he was able to get something for nothing and proud he was "beating the system" in some way. [/quote]
