Do You Lick Plates?

Do You Lick Plates?

I’ll admit it.

My wife creates the most delicious, incredible food.

It’s so good I’ll often finish my meal and lick the plate.

Is it greed?
Or getting best value?


My dad used to collect pencils from hotel meeting rooms. He’d wait until everyone had left the meeting he’d chaired, then fill his bag with the meeting room stationery.

His mindset was, ‘It’s paid for’.

When he died, we had a laugh emptying his desk drawers of the hundreds of pens and pencils featuring the branding of mid-priced northeast hotels.

Was he hoarding?
Or getting best value?


Lady Gaga reportedly loves coupons. Yes, she can afford to pay full price for her Monster Munch, but there’s nothing she likes more than clipping a coupon and saving 25% on her snacks.

Is she tight?
Or getting best value?


Do you lick the plate, liberate the pencils and cut the coupons?

I’d love to know what you do to get best value. Let me know in the comments.

Be Brilliant!
