Oh my goodness! I think this is the most lucrative Cheapskate Tuesday in a long time. Seriously, stealing straws from Starbucks is small potatoes in comparison.
First: Make sure to invite a person from out of town to stay with you.
Second: On the way back from picking him or her up, suggest stopping at the grocery store to get supplies.
Third: Upon parking, "realize" you forgot your wallet (true story). Suggest driving home to get it.
Fourth: If the previous three steps were done correctly (aka convincingly), your guest will be grateful you picked him or her up and will offer to buy groceries as a thank-you for letting him or her stay with you.
Bingo! Go ahead, put that prime rib in the basket. Do it. While your at it, pick out some flowers.
