Here are a couple of the things I do that some people find cheap.
1) DW and I travel by car a lot. We travel all over the country to visit places and do volunteer work. Since we live in Mesa, AZ, we end up traveling across Reservations fairly frequently. Of course, nearly all Reservations today have casinos. And casinos have free coffee and soft drinks. Niether of us has any interest in gambling, but we often stop at casinos, park the car, walk in with our travel mugs, fill up on free drinks, and go back to the car to carry on our journey.
2) When I was working, I traveled a lot and the company tended to put me up in very high-end hotels. I always collected the free soap, shampoo, hand lotion etc. each day from the hotels I stayed in. I traveled enough that DW and I have not purchased any soap or shampoo in over a decade. We still have quite a stockpile too.
We spend plenty of money on things we really want, but try not to overlook a chance to save (even pennies) when it doesn't diminish our pleasure and core values.
