Cheap, Cheaper and Cheapest
Frugality has become mainstream. But even before it was hip to save a buck, we've been covering the wild ways the cheapskates in your lives pinch pennies. Click through the 8th edition of our popular community feature as we expose the annoying and endearing frugal habits of those near and (sometimes not-so) dear to you.

Lynne:
My friend Vicki's mother Elaine is one of the most frugal people I know. After their yard would get rolled on Halloween, she would make her kids go out and gather up all the toilet paper so it could be used as intended! Seriously.

I'd heard of some of those - but the guy who gave library books and cd's as presents and then expected the recipient to return them? Please! He's giving them an errand for a present!
