Even though our stated mission as a Schnorrer is to spend as little possible, we of necessity will encounter others with the same mission. Yeah, I know that everyone does this but a cheapskate can go to extremes. Maybe for projects, it’s you who buys and gets everything.

Dear Schnorrer,
Living with a family of schnorring men (I have 4 sons), there is one schnorr that drives me nuts.

Dear Ann,

When he told me that he was coming here, he asked if we could meet up. To which I thought……yes, a free dinner. I know how business trips and expense accounts work; you get to use the company card.
My friend tells me he is in the mood for steak and tells me to meet him at Smith & Wollensky, a very …
