frugal or tightwad?

From Reader's Digest's "The Cheapest People in America" article:
"We reuse our garbage bags. So when the trash trucks come, I empty the contents directly into the trucks, then bring the bags back in the house to use for another week."

"My kids love oatmeal, so when I saw a sale, I got a year's worth for $5. It was the high-fiber kind, thouh, and a wiser mother probably could have warned me -- they got terrible diarrhea. I thought, What am I going to do now? And I was so cheap, I kept giving it to them for about a month, because I thought maybe their bodies would adjust. They didn't."

I never change the blade on my razor. Real men bleed when they shave.

Cheep clarkhoward.com never changes blades and buys all his clothes at Costco.

Buying clothes at Costco is not neither frugal nor cheap;buying second hand clothes at thrift shops is.

I disagree. Buying just on price is cheap. Buying based on value is frugal. Buying a shirt for $1 at a thrift shop that is junk, is not good value in my opinion.

I save money where I can so when I need to write a big unplanned check, or find something bitchin' and unexpected for sale (Like my convertible) I can buy it.

The most important thing I learned in college was that beards don't require daily shaving.
