Ive had friends when we were going to a cashpoint would then go further down the road as "That one does'nt charge' Im like , I need my money now and don't mind paying for the privilege! Ive noticed that some people also do this regarding other things saying 'Lets go to the shops down the road as the item is slightly cheaper" WHAT? Im sorry but isn't your lifes time more important then saving a couple of pennies? Have this extensive penny pinching ever made any one a millionaire? Are you a perpetrator of this or do you agree that sometimes you need to spend slightly more and gain some extra life time?

Id like to add Im not rich and these people in question are not poor.
Hardly "a few pennies" when some of these machines charge £1.50 to withdraw a tenner of your own money!
Some people just don't have money to spare or waste in this case
I would give anyone my last penny...honest!
I reuse point blankly to pay to get my own feckin money!
Refuse*
Most sane people would.

I'd pay £1.50 for someone to go to the cash point for me.

Anotherview I agree its horrendous but if we need to jump in a cab, run into the cinema to catch an already started movie or are just dying to fly into the pub to get some serious thirst quenching done then why wait 20 minutes to save one pound fifty? Id just say sod it and withdraw!

Lol, ummm how was glasto? Any pics for us?
Also I would walk (even with my insanely painful ankle) to a further shop or supermarket to save money. I hate wasteful people, there is no need for it.
Its not being tight not paying to get your own money from the ATM its common sense ...
id only get money out and be charged for it in an emergency ,

life time ??? lol
As my Granny used to say "Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves"
Surely spending time on this website (as much as I am here myself) is wasting 'life time'?
If I needed money desparately, I would pay but only as a very last resort.
I'm very tight then Mr BF, as like everyone else I wouldn't pay to get my money out of a th'ole in wall either. I also walk an extra 5 minutes to get my milk and sugar from a particular shop as they are 15p and 30p respectively than my local one.
I def would not pay to get my money and the day they charge for my credit card that will be ripped up as I never have to pay interest on that and another thing I object to is having to go in a supermarket that has a council paying carpark so I avoid them unless I want to go to Iceland on a subday then it is free.. Maybe the penny pinching has not made me a millionaire but I do try and get more for my money.
bigfoot.....I took two on my phone of the drunken lads cuddling and kissing......lol....it was a real love in...
