Sheesh, Margies! I'm a little insulted!

Re: How to Save Money
Oh, yeah, I also left a $1.00 tip in the hotel, which isn't much, but it's more than most people leave.

LOL, sorry about that ILG. I re-read what you had posted after I had already posted my reply and had one of those "duh"  moments where you suddenly realize that you might have read something wrongly. Ooops. sorry. I KNEW you wouldn't stiff the girl - don't know why I even saw it that way at first. My big mistake!

I read it the same way you did because I KNOW people who tip like that. If they go to a nice restaurant where the check for 4 people comes to 80 bucks they'll leave $2 and think they are being generous.

Thanks, Margies.  I try not to make the waitstaff pay for my frugality. For example, at the fancy restaurant we went to my meal was $20 and my husband's was $21. So the tab was $41.00. (We always drink water unless we are forced by coupon to order a drink.) The coupon I paid $2.00 for was $25.00 off, our tab came to 16.00....plus the $2.00 was $18.00 total and I left $25.00 to pay for the meal so that left a $7.00 tip for the waitstaff but the meal only cost us $27.00 total.
