    I must admit to repairing clothing recently.

    Not by myself obviously, but I did have some new leather soles put on one pair of shoes last week.

    I do this too. It turns out it's not too hard to put new petrol in your car.

    What about stealing sugar, salt and pepper sachets from McDs, Weatherspoons etc? One up from rummaging in bins I suppose

    I sometimes repair things instead of throwing them away now and sometimes consider the possibility of ditching the car, gym membership, etc (a bicycle would serve both purposes) but not quite at the point where I'm ready to start embarking on plan C - becoming a hobo.
