[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shipping fees for online shopping. I will either abandon my cart if there’s a shipping fee, or I will buy something else I don’t want to hit them minimum and then return it to the store (I can walk to most of the stores I shop at, so not wasting gas to do this).

Airline tickets - I hate paying more than the cheapest basic economy fare and if I’m traveling on my own dime that’s what I do (I have a personal policy of carry-on bags only so I never check a bag anyway). If I fly domestically, I have a large weekender that qualifies as a “personal item” and international basic economy fares typically include a carry-on item, so I do that.[/quote]

I went through most of this thread thinking all you people are crazy then got to this one and was like, yep that is my cheap out soulmate haha.

I would add that while we did get a nice house and didn't 'cheap out' on it, our house is not a crippling debt. If one of us lost our job, we could afford our house by pulling kids out of childcare very easily.

But you know what they say, rich people become rich by being cheap! I try to strike a balance, I can't take it with me and I want to enjoy the time I have! I also never want to have to ask anyone for money, ever, and I want my kids to not worry about money in their childhood, so I try to balance those two overarching goals. [/quote]
