What You Can Learn (or Ridicule) from the Best Penny Pinchers
michelle Singletary gave out awards for the best penny pinchers this past Sunday, and there were some pretty good stories.

Reusing swim diapers was a little gross, sitting through timeshare presentations for free vacation perks was a little too much pain for me. I actually thought the winner should have been the one that Singletary only gave honorable mention:
"...her father-in-law travels often to his company's corporate headquarters and stays at the same little inn. For each night's stay, he gets two tickets he can redeem for free drinks.

"My father-in-law cashes his tickets in for two bottles of beer, which he saves, packs in a cooler and drags back home with him," Schall said. "The porch refrigerator is always stocked with dozens of bottles of cold beer that he got for free..."

Now that I could see myself doing.
