The Cheap Bastard loves to hear from his many admirers, provided they don’t call collect.

That being said, a reader going by the name New Golfer (why would anyone use a fake name on the Internet?) wrote in with a couple ideas for saving money.

“Two great ways to save on clubs. One: Make friends with the staff at your local golf course. I’m told they get at least one lost club each day. If no one claims them, after a while they sell them - cheap. I recently saw a very nice wedge for sale for $5. Two: Thrift stores and pawn shops. You have to be patient and willing to look around, but I’ve seen nice clubs for sale in a thrift store for $1 per club,” wrote the New Golfer.

This advice seems logical enough. However, the Cheap Bastard is a seeing-is-believing kind of guy. So what I’d like is this: Readers who have made a big score from a thrift store, pawn shop or golf course, let us know about it and how you did it. You have a used Calloway you bought for $10 at a thrift store? If it’s golf related and you saved big money, let us know.

Saving money isn’t pretty like the Cheap Bastard, my friends. Sometimes you need to get in the dirt and rummage around for a deal. Well, tell us your story. This Cheap Bastard, after all, is very accepting of dirty people.
