I wouldn't consider the notion of doing such. It's stealing.
I also take the oldest date milk so nothing is wasted but see so may grab the ones at the back.
Or if something is partly broken, box damaged and doesn't make any difference I buy that one.
The cashies often say "Do you want to swap it for another?" I reply, "No I purposely took that one so it's used"
They usually smile and look at me as though I'm strange.
Doesn't everyone do the same ? Maybe I'm just too naive.
If I have seen unstamped stamps, I think well maybe everyone is being honest there is no need to stamp/frank them anymore.
It would be nice if we didn't need to spend so much of resources on what should be unecessary things.

I always pick up the milk with the date that's ending soonest for the same reason. I know it will get used before the use by as we use a lot of milk. I will with other things too if I know I'm going to use them quick because there's so much wastage these days. When you see what's in their skip bins out the back it's criminal. Mr Tippy did garbage skip collection for awhile and he came home so angry at times at the blatant wastage. The cereal box or packet cake mix had a squashed corner, chuck it out. Could they not take them to the soup kitchen or charities that make up food hampers if there was nothing wrong with the contents? No, because then they can't claim it back.
As for reusing stamps, it's never crossed my mind. The only time I have ever soaked stamps off was when we were young and my brother got into stamp collecting. I think if you're that hard done by where you've got to try and reuse a $1 stamp, things are pretty grim. That's without getting into the legalities of it. I wonder if people think reuse is still acceptable if your surgeon decides to reuse a single use instrument? Or if a cafe decided to reuse a bread roll that someone didn't eat?
