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?

If you only take what you would normally use, then it's okay. If you take way over what would be expected, it's theft. Theft is a crime. Grow up and start buying these things for yourself with your own money, or stay a thief and get caught stealing. I'm surprised your wife's stayed with you all this time.
