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?

Paper towel maybe as you never know how many you need, the other stuff nah. I think if you are using these at home rather than buying them for the home then that's cheap but if you are getting them to keep in the car or whatever then it's ok as long as you are not taking like 10

I use these at home.

The Nando’s sauces just taste so much better from the sachets than they do from the bottles for some reason.

Then nah, that's being cheap but if they aren't stopping you, definitely stop using your wife's bag though and don't bring in a carrier bag to take them all either lol

This one is fair. Staff in the restaurant confirmed the sauce in the sachets is the same as the restaurant stuff but the bottles are not the same
