You know, just regular pilot savings measures.
Funny you mentioned mail, I once sent a letter to my folks by putting their name as the mailer and mine as the addressee...and did not put a stamp on it. It went to the other side of the country.
That wasn't so much out of cheapness but I just wanted to see if it could be done.
I bought soap for the first time in 15 years last month. I do "donate" a bunch of it though. I had no idea how cheap it was.
Good tip on the Goodwill scam.
