May not be the cheapest but this happened earlier this week and was pretty fricking cheap and trashy.
Someone threw out some expired Factor Meals in the company breakroom. I saw them in the trash can still frozen solid. I took two of them home and ate them for lunch Wed and Thurs.
FWIW: There a pretty fancy subscription meal prep service. Not some Lean Cuisines. They were DELICIOUS. Seriously.

Not me, but I used to have a manager who was probably making 150 a year. He’s go to rouses and get the “fresh” gulf shrimp which is usually some iqf stuff they have marked up to 6.99 a pound thawed over Ice. He’d pull the heads off and just take the tails. I used to laugh everytime.

Relative would go around and gather the ice in the glasses after the meals were over and put it back in the freezer.

Gave my boss a sports bloopers video tape that my brother got for free with the purchase of a carton of cigarettes.

That’s beyond being cheap. It’s stupid and disgusting.

I had a traveling sales job during the first 6 months after my first son was born. It paid a $50/day food expense per diem but it was a use it or lose it type thing. I lived off free hotel breakfast and cheap bologna sandwiches and would buy $50 worth of baby food and baby snacks each day and turn in the receipts. I told my mgr I loved to eat that shite and nowhere in the handbook did it say what type of food, just that it had to be food to expense. I'd come home every Friday with stacks of shite. It was like having WIC without the blocks of cheese. Lol My wife and I were young and this was in the early 90's. $50/day was a LOT back then.

Not me, but my next door neighbor's dad was a notorious tight wad.
In the late 1960's the price for trash pick up went up to $2 per quarter. He was so mad he came over to talk to my dad about it.
He asked my dad if he was interested in sharing the cost of trash pickup. All they had to do was put their trash on the property line. The parish would have no way to determine whose trash it was.
They would take turns paying ever other quarter and save big, $4/year. My dad politely declined.
I bet that dude re-used condoms.

Years ago (when just out of college) I collected insurance on a hail damaged car. Afterwards I waxed the car and traded the car during a rain storm day. Dealership couldn't see the dings because of the water beads and of course was reluctant to go out into the rain. Was able to pocket the insurance money and still get full trade value.

I’ve done a lot of cheap things, but we used to go “study” at a pizza buffet in college and dump a shite load of pizza in grocery bags and out in in our backpacks and take it home. Idk if it was stealing but I convinced myself it was a Buffett we paid for
Eta I would never take whole rolls but when I had no money in college I would always roll off toilet paper and stick it in my bag until payday damn. Still the best times of my life though

Haven’t done this but a great idea. When mailing a letter don’t put a stamp on it.
Put the return address in the top left corner the address where you want the letter actually delivered. Put your address in the center of the envelope. Returned to sender for no stamp.

Genius. I can’t believe I never thought of it. Plus you don’t have to pay for parking at the movie theatre.

Once a financed item is bought and you don’t pay, if the company sells the debt to a collection agency you can have that cancelled.
The company legally is not supposed to sell the debt. If you go through certain channels, you can have the collection agency drop the debt.
Done this multiple times now

I went on a camping trip in college. Bought all my gear at Walmart. Tent, sleeping bag, the whole nine yards. Got poured on by a bad rainstorm one night of the trip. Cheap tent filled up with water. Sleeping bag saturated.
Returned all my gear to walmart as soon as i got back.

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.
Shitbags like that guy are why our local DQ used to "checkout" catsup and mustard bottles. Otherwise, locals would come in and steal them.
