I'm not talking about inexpensive, some of the most thoughtful gifts I've ever received, the ones I truly love because the person giving the gift truly thought about me and cared, might have cost a whole $5.

I'm talking about just plain old cheap.

I thought of this thread because of the Christmas gift my husband's boss gave us this year. Now, these folks have plenty of money, to say the least. And they gave us a gift bag with the following items in it: a notepad, a pen, a coffee mug and two pieces of gum. It was however, obviously a gift bag they were given by a business. We know this because all the items are imprinted with business names from Bakersfield, California, their hometown, where the visited before the holidays. They, and we, live in Wyoming now.

Just wondering if any of you have a "cheapskate" story to share. LOL
