-mapping out the the guy comes to the parking meters so I don’t needlessly pay

-Taking home the food people bring to the office to share (bags of open chips leftover from the office party, opened 2L  sodas etc). 
-taking everyone’s cash contribution at dinner and putting the whole tab on my card so I get the points/miles 
-not rounding up for the sitter (3 hours gets her $45, not $50) 
-Made a challenge to myself to not buy kid clothes until elementary school.  [b]Every item is a hand me down except shoes.[/b]

NP.  I have 2 kids under 3.  The only clothes I've purchased have been Halloween costumes (which I make), swimwear, and Easter outfits.  Everything else has been a gift or a hand-me-down, mostly gifts from spendy grandmas.  I will also let my kids wear whatever to bed.  Why buy cute matchy pajamas when they can wear sweats and a t-shirt?  It's essentially the same thing.
