Cheapskate Hall of Fame

Here at This Old House, we don't mind when people call us tightwads. In fact, we're proud of it. But our readers taught us a thing or two about thriftiness when we asked them to tell us how they're saving money on projects these days. As TOH readers pointed out, there are loads of ways to shave a few bucks—or even a few thousand bucks—off a project without sacrificing your goals.
