44% for me
Some of those were to me immoral or just plain rude (like splitting a bill and putting in less than what yours was knowing that your friends would have to split the difference)

30% but agreed with Finlay's comment - some of the questions aren't 'are you frugal?' they were more 'are you an immoral, self centred bastard who all your friends secretly loath behind your back?'

11%. However, most of the questions involved situations I'm never in, so I couldn't answer them sensibly.  _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

18% here although I'd also have to echo Heathers comment above for some of them.

Yep exactly, and putting cheap cereal in an expensive box makes you a Hyacinth Bucket, that's nothing to do with how thrifty you are!

I confess: I put Sainsbury's Ketchup in a Heinz squeezy container. However, that's because I genuinely prefer the cheaper sauce (it has a lot more tomato and less added sugar so it tastes like ketchup rather than flavoured syrup) and the Heinz bottles are easier to use than slapping a bottle! It doesn't fool anyone - people seem to like the Heinz rubbish _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

I've long since stopped using Heinz for anything these days.

I'm so tight I don't need to use 2 for 1 vouchers on a first date, I've kept the same GF to keep spending down.

That won't work in the long run. Do you have any idea how much engagement rings and weddings cost?

She's Finnish, so no. I'm so tight that even after 12 years that's never going to happen.

24% tight, although I laughed at the thought of people chasing a woman around a supermarket because she had a price reduction label gun _________________The Official "Saucy Minx" This above all: To Thine Own Self Be True "Red sky at night, Shepherds Delight"..Which is a bit like Shepherds Pie, but with whipped topping instead of mashed potato.

When was the last time you even saw a price label gun in a shop? I'm sure I haven't seen those since the 80's.  The prices are all on the shelves thse days.
