25.

Never been anywhere with valet parking, so that was an automatic "no".

Well, I have never been where there was valet parking, but if there had been, I would have looked for some where else, so I answered yes. I got a 60, I went to a meal once where there was about 12 or us. They split the bill 6 ways (6 couples) and I did not like that at all. some got appetizers, desserts, prime rib, etc. I got a hamburger and our $12 meal cost us about $35. I have not gone out with those people since.

Cheap = Cheating friends, family members, and anyone else out of money, aka mooch

I got 90. But there were some questions about tip and hotel. I never go to a restaurant or hotel. But if someone wants me to go there with them, I tell them upfront, I don't have any money (well, ok, I have, but don't want to spend any). I usually invite my friends to my house for dinner, instead of going to a restaurant and spending too much money. Yes I have returned lots of clothes that I wore only once or twice, especcially my kids clothes. When my daughter didn't walk yet, I would buy a pair of shoes, she would wear it a few times, then I would go back and return them and buy some other shoes. And so on. As long as they don't look like they are worn and box and receipt is there, they will take it back. My daughter grew 4 shoe sizes for the first year, so I would have to buy 4 pairs of shoes for at least $10 a pair, forget it, I am not spending that much!

I do agree with you here!

I got 60 as I had to put NO to some answers that don't apply here.

Frugal = Paying your way but not participating when you can't afford too! It's the way I have always been!

I scored 30; I'm cheap in some ways, but not in the ways they scored. I would never stiff a waiter/tress even if the service was awful; (I'd comment on it instead). I've driven around instead of valet parking when I thought valet parking was an inappropriate and pretentious addition to an event. And "regifting"? Everyone does it.

Never been to a place that offered Valet parking but would try it once and probably only once.
