I went to a democratic meeting a couple of weeks ago where peeps had to a bring a dish or amke a donations. After the meeting, there was a lady there who put about 80% of the leftover food from the table in a bag she brought with her.
I was shocked that I almost did not see her take the food because she was so fast at transfering the food from the table to her bag.
Now, I understand that there are people out there that aare hungry but this one took the cake and that to me is cheap!
I was just talking about this to my daughter this evening.

reusing dryer sheets and counting the number of squares of toilet paper you can use is pretty bad.(3 for #1, 5squares for #2)

thrift stores are not wheelchair friendly. BUT.. you could use one of the wheelchairs for sale while you are perusing the merchandise

using plastic garbage bags to cover yourself in the rain.

raiding someone elses fridge and using their leftovers for dinner. (I must be hungry, I keep coming up with food items)
