No, you use them for sensible things. Now, my millionaire in-laws are the epitome of cheap - they collect them to use them so they don't have to buy their own soap or shampoo. Seriously. They also save flimsy plastic deli containers because they're too cheap to buy just even one piece of long-term Tupperware.
And, my ex-husband never allowed me to buy a pack of straws (50-cents for 100 at the time). He said we could wash and save them from our occasional fast food drinks.
And, to top off the cheapness - my father bought a carton of OJ at the store and carried it in with us to iHop during one of our trips to DL when I was a kid, because he didn't want to pay the extra bit for a carafe. He even asked them for empty glasses.
