Does anyone pick up the used rusted brass off the ground as they walk out to repair their 2nd hand homemade shoot and see target?

Not gun related, but I'm seriously contemplating riding a bike from Kalihi to Kapolei to save a few bucks on gas or bus fare..  :-\  :(

I separate my two-ply toilet paper squares into single sheets and use one square per sitting.

Hmmm -- I got upset with a Starbucks cashier for short-changing me a penny.

I duct tape my target frames to make them last longer.

I am so cheap i use other peoples targets at the range. I also use their guns and ammo so i dont need to bring anything. I also pick up all the earplugs i find on the ground and loan them out. I make target frames from the broken wood pile. I pick through the trash and recycle the paper plates into targets. I am so cheap im chinese. I take anything free except diseases.

So cheap that instead of buying regular priced lunch at school I wait until the end of the day and buy everything 75% off. They need to sell everything before the cafe closes or throw it away.

I was so cheap that:

For two years I only took women out to happy hour. At that time beers (some imports) were a buck and well drinks were a buck as well. Plus all the pupus you can eat. Fill up on drinks and pupus and its time to go back to her place (So I didn't have to wash my sheets at the laundomat before I brought her back to my place).
