The latest technology
The tightwads are not the biggest fans of the newest of….anything. There are bigger chances of being struck by lighting than seeing someone with frugality coursing through their veins waiting in line to buy the latest iPhone or laptop.

I did not drink public water when I lived in Vermont, Rochester, MN, and I don’t drink water here in Texas. There were radio and TV announcements to boil the water before consuming it. I was told by an MN worker to not drink the water and suggest that I install a house filter system, Here in TX the public water office says the water in Texas Meets FDA and public health guidelines. I was told by my dog’s Vet to Not give him pubic water. So I buy water that went through a reverse osmosis system, and I had the water tested.
