Mine--don't laugh--is random fruit from fruit trees hanging over walls and over the sidewalk.

Although, I once tried to take a plum from a wasp who was sitting on the fruit, and she turned and looked at me, and I quickly let go and let her have it.

Umm… that’s actually theft. If it’s not yours don’t take it is a basic idea. Not accusing you of trespassing but even if it’s over a wall but not yours that’s still theft.

Frugal is being smart and finding good deals not taking something that’s not yours.

Totally depends on your local laws. Where I live (southern California) any fruit hanging over the sidewalk is free for the public to take, regardless of whether the tree itself is on public property. But if you cross the property line to reach it, it becomes theft.
