On This Edition of Cheap Bastard...

[ThePenIsMightier]

While I love not needing to be cheap a lot more; I still do love being cheap every once in a while. Let's face it, we've all got Rolex watches, fruity electric bicycles or even fruitier vintage wines and that's just the crap that we constantly flex on Beyond. The Maybach and the helicopter that we took to Longview for a steak stays private.

I think we should talk about flexing cheap.

I'll start.
One day I intentionally spent >$150 at Canadian Tire in order to earn some bonus, bullshit $40 CT$ thing. Well, there was some sort of glitch and they didn't give me the $40 bonus. I was going to forget about it, but no - I'm cheap and I want my $40 so about two months later, I complained nicely and showed them that I spent enough and so on. Then, boom, they gave me the $40 and I feel awesome!

And so ends (my) today's edition of Cheap Bastard.

I laugh at yolo's hidden content posts instead of wasting data on comedy.

I thought this topic was already covered by the UFA thread

My old turbo 5.0 ran 12.5@112mph and it cost me $3000 to build including the car

My old subaru ran 13.5@101mph and cost $2000 to build including the car

Those are probably my best speed per dollar builds.

I really really enjoy Burger King, but I think I'm lucky that I live near one that's a particularly excellent outlet.
Anyways, I only go if I have coupons (but they constantly do) and it's the Whopper that I'm after.
There are two things:
1.) To add cheese is like $0.60 and sometimes they forget to add it but still charge you.
2.) I take it home to eat.

Connect the dots because you know this white-ass mahfk has a Costco pack of Kraft Singles in the fridge. So... I just put my own fuckin cheese on when I get home!

Even my children make fun of me for doing this!

My problem with the whopper is the mayo

My one kid likes a BLT burger. But a small one. So a McDonald's hamburger but remove the toppings and pay to add lettuce, tomato and bacon. Costs $4.19.
Well, at Wendy's the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger (JBC to us cool cats) is $2.29 and I can have them remove the cheese, ketchup and mayo for free.

Teen burgers are my fast food burger jam. Tasty fuckers

My go to... 2 burgers, rings, and drink. $5.99
Also I love that their onion rings aren't real slices of onion that pull out of the batter when you don't bite all the way through.

We semi-regularly get Costco hotdogs/fries for take-out supper, without shopping at the store.

Dinner for 3, $11.00.

[msommers]

Maybe cheap, but most definitely illogical.

When I'm at a buffet, I stuff as much food in me as humanly possible to 'get my money's worth'

But at the same cost for a buffet, I can go to a regular restaurant, have 1/2 the food and be just as content.

Just blazed out to Cdn Tire and grabbed this floor jack:

Stacked Triangle card offers so I saved an extra $18.40 and basically, I got that thing for half price. It's a long way from a premium jack like my main one, but it's also not 113 pounds!! Somehow this little shitty one is only 20 pounds and still can handle 2 ton + it's reasonably low.

This extra deal ends in 45 min of anyone is jelly enough to want, get on it!

That's what I bought for my kids to split today when I bought my shameful, cheese-less Whopper combo! LoL!!
They got a Jr. Chicken + Cheeseburger, so lunch for 3 was like $13.

+1 for Killy and the Teens. I love a pair of those with coupons.

A&w adds toppings like lettuce mayo tomato for free. Best way to make a breakfast BLT

I learned that added toppings at McDonald's are maybe literally the ONLY thing that a franchisee can set whatever price they want on. So it's completely inconsistent and dependent on the location.
Add L+T+"mayo" on a cheeseburger at the one just off Whyte Ave in Edmonton and your Cheeseburger literally more than doubles in price!¡!!
Most other places, it's like an extra 60¢ ...

[ExtraSlow]

Clearly the franchisee for the first McDonald's in Calgary is a money grubbing shitbag.

[max_boost]

Excellent. I support these thrills. It feels good.

Little Caesars cheese pizzas ($5,99)bring home, add my own sliced pepperoni, mushrooms, extra cheese, onion, and bacon crumble, toss in the oven for 10 min. Awesome!

During two weeks of summer I never turn on my 500 watt speaker set, instead just using the crappy TV speakers. Of which all TV speakers regardless of brand and price are crap.
