There's a difference between being cheap and being a POS thief.

My brother will buy hamburgers instead of cheeseburgers at McDonalds to save money. He's an engineer has a great job.

My father in law wrote a letter to Progresso because "there weren't enough clams in the clam chowder". They sent him some vouchers for free soup.

Sometimes the book might be a prior edition but the updates were essentially non-existent. The only issue would be if someone else placed a request/hold on the book, you couldn't just check it out again. In the few cases that happened I'd just pay the overdue fine, which was $10-$15 IIRC.
When i was in college if a book was over 100 bucks i would go to the library photocopy the whole book then put it in a binder.

Sneaking snacks into movie theaters and ballgames.
A couple years back I was coaching a youth baseball team, and I took them to the movies at end of the season. A couple of the kids went up the walkway to the numbered movie halls, and looked in the trash cans for the large popcorn buckets people had thrown away that were unlimited refills. I thought it was absolute genius.
Cheapest thing I did that I can recall was stop at a Holiday Inn one morning and ate the free breakfast.

When I needed office supplies in my younger days, I would just take them from work.

Knew a guy that would steal all the sweetener packs and any other condiments available from restaurants just so he wouldn't have to buy any at the grocery.
Years ago the store around the corner from my trailer sold cups of coffee for ten cents on Sundays. I used to go there every Sunday for a cup of coffee so I could fill my pockets with packs of sweetener and sugar.

all my boxers are Banana Republic and they are all Christmas themed. I go every year in January to Tanger outlet store so I can get them at $5 a pair.

In college, after a long night of drinking, we would walk in to a hotel lobby and eat the free breakfast and bounce.

A quick pull of mouthwash from a bottle in Walgreens, or a handful of shaving cream if needed.
Still to this day, I’ll keep a fancy bottle of wine or champagne and fill that SOB up with some cheap crap to seal the deal with a lady friend.

Maybe we ran in the same circle of friends. We would do the same thing. Finally get out of the Tigerland parking lot about 230am. Head to the after party and about 5am go hit up the Holiday Inn.

I was moving across country a out a decade back. Didn't have a job at my destination and wanted to save every penny I could - literally. I would pick up pennies in parking lots. I was also not crazy about paying ridiculous prices for boxes. There was a cardboard recycling dumpster down the street from my work. Every few days for 3 months I would go dumpster diving for recycled boxes. Probably saved me $100.

Mail a letter without a stamp.
You put the address you want it to actually go to in the return address. You put whatever in the address. No stamp so it gets returned to return address. Did it all the time in college.

Poured half a glass of water into half a glass of milk to make the milk last longer.
When I was younger, I picked up air soft bbs from previous fights to reuse.

went and got a rental car of my exact make and model, manually swapped all 4 tires from my car to the rental, then took it back. Had a whole new set of tires for bout $75
I manage 4 states for a large rental car company. I get stories all the time of people trying to do similar things and getting caught. We usually just charge them for it and put them on a do not rent list. The things people try and take are pretty crazy. A few slip through but many get caught.
