Well my exersise bike was old when I got it and falling apart,now ita time to start hiting garage sales and reading the thrifty nickle to see if I can find another one..my son has fixed it bout all he can.

a few months ago I was given a free exercise bike..a newer one, with the air cycles.

I hate paying for stuff. I always try to find it for free before I have to spend money on it. My next big adventure is to find a brown leather couch for free....

Here goes my cheap Azz Bastid story...
Don't know if ya'all read my Ohh Ohh Honey do List.
But here goes the story. We are shopping at Home Depot.
Doll is putting paint, and tells me to get rollers and items needed to paint. I start looking at PVC piping, I knew I had to run some PVC from the air conditioner to the outside wall so I grab a 11' peice and some L joints. She looks at me and says, well how much is that??? I say ummm it's $19.99. She smile and say well do we need it, I say, Yes, we do, I want to stop the dripping and I can run it to the side of the house. So she smiles and says, okay. Then she yells down the hall, how much is it again? I say it's $9.99 this time. Now she thinks damn, that's a DEAL! Little did she know that the PVC piping was only $.97 cents and the T joints were like .27 cents. So we grab a few more things and we get in line. I say to her. I will pay half. She looks at me and says, I don't want you to use all your money so you get the PVC stuff. I said, no, let me get half. She said no and starts ringing up her basket of items... Think hers come to $ 89.79... She wait's for me, and I start ringing up my PVC things. The pipe. .97 cents, the joints .27 each and .34 cents. Any way... My total was a whooping
$1.87 cents. She stood there with her eyes fixed on the screen and her mouth about dropped. First thing she said was one dollar and eighty seven cents???? I sheepishly smiled and said ummm yeah, and I am going to pay with debit cause I don't carry any cash. She was pissed, lol. So we stopped and I bought her some beer to make her happy... We laughed about it, but I know she is still pissed so I better buy the other items needed. So that about raps up my Cheap Bastid story....

Yup yup, I still am a cheap bastid!
Forgot to buy the spackle today so I was pulling out all the nail and sanding down the holes.
Doll comes in and see's me with my Colgate toothpaste plugging the holes in the wall. She says to me, what the hell are you doing?
I grin and say, well it's an old trick, and besides, im a cheap bastid! Toothpaste dries nice and hard so not only will it patch the holes, it will smell minty clean too!!!
