I try to save money

Today Pura Tap came to change my filters, that cost $69.  Unfortunately I needed new tubing.  Or should I say 'supposedly' and that rounded the amount up to $99.  The nice Pura Tap man told me the tap would need fixing next time as it was leaking.  I knew it was leaking so after he went I investigated.  It was leaking worse than it had before and when I touched the actual tap it came off in my hand.  Sooooo after another phone call to Para Tap I then had a nice new heavy duty tap that cost $59.  I ask you why is it when I am trying to be really stingy that I have to lay out large clumps of my money.    I do try people but somehow the money leaks out between my fingers.  I am tossing up the idea of hibernating for three or four months of the year.  At least if I am asleep I cannot be spending any money.  If it is good enough for bears it is good enough for me.  Plus look at all the money I would save on food.  Yep that's it I am founding a new company, Hibernating for Pensioners.
