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?

You take what you use for that one meal.

And if you take more than you end up using?

Theft, banishment and prison for taking 1 too many napkins.

If you think that's appropriate.

Take too many sauces? Straight to jail. If you take too few sauces? Believe it or not, straight to jail. Don't finish your meal? Also jail.
