i was invited to a potluck and i didn't want to cook so i went to the grocery store and picked out some frozen dish that needed to be cooked in the oven. i went to the self check out line and entered a different code so i got it for half price and then i didn't want to waste my own gas so i went to the hosts' house and used the oven there to cook it. then i took all the leftovers + other people's leftovers home to feed my family.

In grade 5, when we used to play red @ss and hand ball, I would take someone's tennis ball and hide it in my jacket and when I got inside I would use a permanent marker and write my name all over it

Back in the day when I go to the supermarket with my parents... my mom always told me to grab more empty grocery bags at the cashier before we head out. Well one time, I stepped it up a notch to impress my mom. Not sure if any of you still remember but supercentre use to put boxes and boxes of new supermaket bags under the conveyor belt - I once again saw opportunity and I snatched the whole box and put it under the shopping cart. Thinkin I've done something good that day...I got home and my parents kicked my ass for stealing....

When I go to no-frills, I go to the meat area and look for expiring meats with additional 2 dollar off coupons. I rip them off and stick it on my package (i.e. put two 2 dollars off on my steak so its 4 dollars off for a fresh one) then I poke the plastic wrapping until there is hole and ask for bags so I dont have to buy grocery bags there.

When I was living in Buffalo 2 years ago, it was expensive for me to make long distance calls. Instead, after class, I would con female classmates to go to the mall so we can go "shopping" while I would go to the MAC store and make my long distance calls with their iphones. THANK YOU APPLE!

True story. My friend was at a restaurant and one of Vancouver's infamous crack heads sits at the table beside him. He orders a salad and pint after pint. After about 5, he disappears in the back for half an hour. He comes back to his table looking uneasy, and out of all possible things, spits out a PHONE JACK! He starts screaming "Ah!! There's a phone jack in my salad!". He makes a big scene, and insinuates that the restaurant is trying to embed these phone jacks in our belly, so they can monitor our every move. Needless to say his paranoia and performance earned him a free meal.

Coincidentally, it looked like the telephone wire in the back was chewed on like a fat kid on gummy bears, and the jack pulled out from the end. Now that's someone with dedication to his craft.

When I buy shirts at the bay, I intentionally pull out threads under the armpit area and try to get a discount at the cashier by showing them it's a defective product. If they tell me to get another one I'll just say it's the last one on the rack with my size. Occasionally you'll find the odd jeans rack with no price tags on the jeans but just on the rack...well when I see that, I see opportunity! I swap the price sign on the rack with a cheaper price and bring it to the cashier. When they ring it in, I over react and say that's not the price that was posted for these jeans and I point out the rack that I picked up the jeans from - I score cheaper price for the jeans.

When I buy underwear at Walmart, I try to get the family packs (ie. the ones that come in a really huge bag not the ones that contain a combination of your parent's or granny's panties) and go to the sections where they sell the nice Calvin Kleins undies and stuff them into the middle of the bag - that way I have the cheap undies for everyday use and the nice stuff for weekends and nights for a cheap price. If they ever suspect why the pack of undies is so big I'll just tell them that I test fitted them and just carelessly put them back in the bag - I gamble they won't want to open the bag after that. That's how my parents lived off of Eaton's when it was still around... hey, I never once doubted that they weren't making any money. Nobody told them to sell underwear in a bag... that's just stupid!
