Everyone knows, I go to great lengths to save money. I wait until after 3pm to buy my Sunday paper so I can save $.50. I never go to a store without searching for a coupon first. I always attempt to haggle on major purchases. But there are some money-saving practices that seem to be crossing the line. What do you think? Would you ever do any of these things to save money?
“Borrowing” Music and Movies from File Sharing Sites
Some people hate the idea of spending a buck on a song, every time they want something new loaded on to their iPod. But is it really fair to get that music or movies for free using file sharing websites?
Taking More Than You Need
You may not want to spend the money on plastic silverware or napkins, but is it really ethical to take more than you need when you’re at the fast food joint?
Re-Gifting
If you get a gift you don’t want, is it OK to save money by giving it to someone else? It may be tacky, but is it wrong?
Using Fraudulent Coupons
Photocopying coupons is not allowed. But plenty of people do it, hoping that a rushed cashier won’t notice. There are also lots of people that create fraudulent coupons so they can save money on products they need. Isn’t this the same as stealing?
