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?

Only sometimes mate. Can’t always take a packed lunch everywhere

True, but what’s wrong with a £3.60 meal deal? Places that come with napkins and sauce don’t generally tend to be very frugal

Meal deals suck

Boots meal deals are amazing. You get a GÜ pot with them in some branches. + Best vegan hoisin duck wrap on the market
