I used to work at Penske Truck Rental. One way rentals to California were always a deal since we always had a shortage of trucks there. One way rentals out of California were always expensive. One way rentals to Florida were consistently the most expensive.

Bargain with the manager at Wal Mart. Wash clothes in the shower to save money on water. Grab all the coffee packets at the breakfast bar. And clip coupons rescued from the recycle bin.
Remember; if its yellow let it mellow.

Still haven’t topped a coworker who used to take all the hotel soaps home and built a press to mold them into a single bar of soap.

Get my sunglasses from the lost and found (just ask for black ones). Donate my clothes to Goodwill and then buy them back for less than the deduction. And last but not least break up with girlfriends right before any occasion requiring a gift.

That wasn't so much out of cheapness but I just wanted to see if it could be done.
I bought soap for the first time in 15 years last month. I do "donate" a bunch of it though. I had no idea how cheap it was.
Good tip on the Goodwill scam.

Buying them from regular stores lowers the margins.
