I'm Thad, the certified cheapskate. My wife gave me the title in our first year of marriage. I've been earning it ever since. Everyone thinks saving money means clipping coupons or going without. It doesn't. A renewal is a purchase that just doesn't come with a cart, and a cheapskate is somebody who decides before the store does. I walk through seven places the money slips out when the card comes due, from the late-renewal rule to the Executive upgrade math to the free household card nobody mentions at the counter. The last one reaches well past Costco, and I learned it from my mother's coffee can. And to give Costco its due: for a household that shops there every week, the membership pays for itself. The gas line wraps the building for a reason, and the chicken is still $4.99. Buy the chicken. When you've tried it, leave one word in the comments: saved. And tell me how many Costco trips you counted last year.
