TightwadsThere's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.
Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

PlasticI don't know about other supermarkets, but I used to work for Sainsbury's and all of our plastic packaging would be recycled. We had a bailer for cardboard and another for plastic so it could be bound up and taken away. Which I always thought was rather good.

I work a Morrisons...... And we too have a cardboard and plastic bailer. The cardboard gets recycled, but it's the plastic that annoys me.
There's just so much of it! Sooooo much packaging, lined up the the ceilings, in boxes everywhere, that you just know people are going to chuck in the bin at home. It hardly seems like much at home but when I'm looking at it all it seems stupid. Also, we can't put any bits of food in the plastic bailer, or paper, obviously but that doesn't stop everyone from throwing all the plastic rubbish in the normal bin bags and just chucking it.
