I too hate paying the full price for anything and will shop around and wait for sales, as so often in the past I have bought gifts or personal items and a week later they are on sale for fourpence. However, this all falls to pieces frequently as I am a sucker for paintings and will spend, on impulse, far more than I can afford on my credit card for something to 'look at every day' - my excuse. Also, after a very careful supermarket shop, sticking firmly to the list, I then buy a huge bunch of flowers as parsimony really depresses me.
I too was advised to 'keep your hand on your ha'penny' by my aunt - what a marvellous piece of social advice, pity it's not compulsory today.
