Do you haggle and "beat up" merchants for the best possible price, whenever possible (electricians, roofers, smaller non-corporate merchants, etc.)?
Do you drive your cars until they're past the point of practical repairing?
Do you know what grocery stores in your area have the cheapest prices for the goods you prefer (No Walmart, please: it's garbage; or Costco: it's second-rate)?
How high do you set the thermostat in the winter--- 68F or below? How about at nights: 66F or below?
How long do you spend checking airline prices (somewhat more challenging now since the bastards have figured out how to eliminate a lot of the best choices from your repeat log-ins, in effect trying to force you to limit your comparisons)?
Are dependability and mileage key factors in your car-buying decisions?
How big is your house? Do you really need much over 2500sf unless you have 3 kids, or more?Do you… reuse dental floss, putting it into a drawer for another "go?"
