The formal definition of "CheapSkate" is pennypincher...We all from time to time buy things cause they cheap and save us money!
Let's have fun with this one... 
You know when your a cheapskate is when you buy cheap drinking glasses and add ice cubes, and the glass breaks before you even use it!
Next?

I bought a cheap throw blanket one...it desindigrated in the washing machine...good thing it was at the Laundry-Mat...the washer was a total mess. And the label said machine washable.

Yeah, I can meet to be only friends if it meant a free meal or anything at the expense of the other party.....I"m not cheap but I love it when the lady uses the term, 'dutch treat'.
I guess we have a real winner here, don't you agree?
Those looking for "cheap date" , this is a thread for you!

Yep, I do that. I like to fill one 1/2 full. Put it in the freezer, then when I need it to go some where, finish filling it and it stays cold a lot longer than if it was just coming out of the fridge.
