Tell Us About The Most Cheapskate Thing You've Ever Witnessed

People really do some W-I-L-D things just to save a buck.

Everyone loves to save a buck now and then. But there are people who are SO stingy with money that sometimes their extreme behavior makes people say, "WOW." And I'm sure almost every single one of you has witnessed a moment like this — so we want to hear from you!

Perhaps you had an uncle who, when he had dental problems like a cavity, preferred to chip out his own teeth with a screwdriver, just so he didn't have to pay a dentist to "do the same thing."

Maybe you had a friend who invited you over for a dinner party and opted to dumpster dive for the food instead of just making something (even though they DEFINITELY had the financial means to NOT dumpster dive).

Or, perhaps when you were growing up, your mom discovered that the power department charged a slightly lower rate for electricity after midnight. So, she opted to do things like vacuuming, laundry, and hedge trimming at, like, 2 a.m. — which kept you up all night!
