I was drinking gunpowder green tea at the time so it didn't need milk.
It was stingy to be fair but I was p1ss poor so im not sorry.
By doing that you got more bang for your buck!

Five years ago I was studying in the Netherlands. I go to know a lovely Dutch girl with whom I was quite friendly. I was 21 at the time and she was 18.
She's now 23 and finish up her history masters degree, so she is somewhat penniless. I still have contact with her. She shared her money-saving tips with me.
She does her shopping in a supermarket where you can scan your own stuff and put it into the trolley (similar to Superquinn / Supervalu here).
If, on the rare occasion a spot check on the contents of the trolley is done, it is never very thorough.
She will often scan 6 cans of beer and put in 9 into her trolley, she'll weigh a few fruit and veg on the scales and put some more in the bag after the sticker is printed, sometimes she weighs more premium fruit & veg as "onions", she'll scan the bar code for tiny baguettes and put big ones into the trolley, she'll often scan shop brand cola and put Coca Cola in the trolley (the device will say "Cola", so the shop staff probably won't cop on), on the odd occasion, she'll put food into the trolley and bury it under other things without scanning it.
She usually saves €7 on €50 worth of messages.
She hasn't been caught yet. Fingers crossed she won't.
I love her and her ideas 0 -

Yeah, it's literally the same as walking into a shop, loading up your pockets with random stuff and walking out.

We pretty much know this woman is hot based on the above.
She's a common thief and many of the things she does aren't even clever, just brazen. She *will* get caught.1 -

Those scales are very accurate.The other day I scanned a load of stuff and a 3 litre carton of milk when the self service till started beeping. Turns ou t there was a leak in the carton and it was fifty grammes short of the recorded weight. I got another carton and a free half litre of cream.

To be fair, no one would get a criminal record over a few messages.
