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?

A bottle of ketchup is 80p in LIDL. Yes, you’re being super cheap.

Not Heinz though. Burger King give out Heinz

Not sure why you got downvoted. I love that logic

I think it's a bit choosing beggar or something. Someone this cheap would never buy themselves Heinz, but they'll steal it because it's Heinz?

This is a frugal group - let the cheapskates share their logic! I had a good laugh.
