to think this is a bit, well, tight?

[AnarchyAunt]

I know a woman who lives locally to me - she is a friend of friends, and she has a DD a bit younger than my DD. We get on quite well, I see her socially and the DDs like playing together. I pass a lot of DD's outgrown clothes and shoes onto her - probably over £100 worth in the last couple of years. Last week I gave her a pair of girl's Doc Marten summer shoes and a bag of summer clothes.

We are both on the local freecycle and so she has a lot of things I give away on there too - toys, women's clothes, household stuff etc, and last year I gave her a violin for her older child to learn on.

Anyway today I had a text from her to say she had bought a dress in Oxfam but decided it didn't suit her and would I like to try it on me. So I said yes please, and got a message back saying it would be £3.

AIBU to think thats a bit bloody tight? Ok, I don't give people things because I expect things in return but tbh I feel like handing her a bag of DD's clothes next time I see her and then telling her they will cost her a tenner.

YANBU, some people are very greedy and are all about taking as much as they can get.

I am actually quite that she has asked you for the money TBH, she is very tight.
I wouldn't give her anything again.

This just goes to show how short-sighted tight/ungenerous people can be. Her tightness in asking you for £3 means that she will lose a lot more than £3 in the long run.

YANBU.

You could put the clothes in a charity shop if she always replies to your freecycling stuff or tell her someone else already asked for it on freecycle.

YANBU She just wants her money back but can't be arsed to go back to the shop !

I regularly buy from a number of local charity shops they all allow me to return items that dont fit as long as I haven't taken off their tags and I have a receipt.

Why can't she return it to the shop and get her money back that way.

If she has take tags off or binned receipt then tough on her.
