I just put up a post about how people define what is cheap and what isn't

At the end of the article I posted several scenarios that could either be judged by people as a great frugal move or just plain cheap. Post your responses here or on the blog. Doesn't make a difference. I can't wait for the answers

:

I’m really curious about the varying opinion on what is cheap. Here are some questions that I would love to know if you consider them cheap and why:

1 - A double cheeseburger dressed like a mac. It’s a $1.50 less than a big mac but tastes the same

2 - Order a small coffee in a medium cup to fill the rest up with milk and essentially get a medium coffee at a small coffee price

3 - Order 2 kids hot chocolate’s in leu of the equivelant adult hot chocolate. You save a $1.

4 - Pick up 5 cents

5 - Pick up $5

6 - Walk 5 extra blocks to save $1 on dry cleaning

7 - Order a pasta meal that has unlimited bread and salad. Fill up on bread and salad and take the pasta home with you.

you do know that when you get (paid for & the burger is in your hand) that you can ask for Big Mac sauce, which they will give you for free in one of those small mini tubs you use for ketchup - thus you have as close to the real McCoy as you'll get

Extra pickles are also free

On the coffee, if there are more than two people dining, order two of the double burgers along with one large or extra large coffee with an extra empty cup to share the coffee

If you're a soda pop drinker, do the same as the coffee & BTW pop is also free refills at McDonalds
