Hey..I think most of us miss this one thing which is absolutely free and we don't have to pay for..

AIR!

I can't imagine if we have to pay for each breath we take...

things i don't pay for

papers - you can normally find loads on the train or bus!

knives and folks and sauces - as they have them at all shops for free

When i was a student we didn't hardly ever buy milk, sugar, sauces and salt and pepper as you can get it all in one go from resteraunts. I am not quite as bad now, but it was a great way of saving money.

paper - from work
diary - from work
pens - from work

if you ever work from home then you are entitled surely to take some of this home as you wouldn't normally be paying for it. Obviously when it is at home you will end up using it for your personal stuff too though!

With the exception of getting papers from the bus or train I would say that all of the above is considered stealing. If you are taking more then you can use in a restaurant then you are stealing. If you are taking items from work to use at home for personal use then it is stealing. It is one thing to be frugal but taking something to save money is NOT frugal.

Magazines. I get lots of them free through E rewards.
