It has been awhile since I have had a good discussion topic on my blog, so I just posted one… How cheap is TOO cheap? If you're bored and looking for some easy entertainment, head on over and join the discussion! I'd love to hear your views!

Too cheap is when you steal towels from hotels to save a couple bucks. Too cheap is when you cycle hotel breakfasts but are not staying there. Those are examples of taking cheap or fugal far too far!

Hahaha… I admit I have never stolen a hotel towel but I did once steal a hotel washcloth! I was on a work trip and they had given us an award and I needed something soft to cushion it, so I grabbed a washcloth. It made perfect sense at the time… but now I question why I didn't just use one of my tops that was in my luggage.
Is stocking up on some extra food (to use for lunch) considered stealing from the hotel breakfast if you are staying at that hotel? :)

I hope not since I always squirrel away pieces of fruit from my hotel's breakfast for snacks…

Stealing Hotel towels is more than cheap… it's criminal. No… seriously. It's a crime.

Great topic! In my mind, too cheap is being willing to spend money on going out to a fancy restaurant, but then not leaving any tip when the waiter does a stellar job.
