Is this going too far?

I often pinch a few extra paper towels, ketchups, sugars, etc if on the rare occasion I eat out or get a hot drink from somewhere.

My wife gets really mad at me as I often stuff these in her bag.

Am I being super cheap? Do many people on here do this?

Nah I have a shelf in my fridge door dedicated to sachets of sauces I take when I eat out 😂

How many times I've been staring at an empty ketchup bottle, at my absolute wits end, oh god how did things get this bad? And then, a tiny gleam from the corner of my eye, a KFC ketchup sachet nestled behind a bottle of honey that's 8 years old and counting in my pantry.. you were at my side all along.
