Probably a short list right now because I might not be able to remember all the things I do at the moment, but yeah.
Hate how automatic toilets like to flush themselves whenever you lean the slightest bit forward? Drape two or three squares of toilet paper over the sensor and take them off when you're ready to manually flush. Even if it doesn't 'misfire' on you much, it'll still save water since you can flush everything at once.
Make a point to walk by the Coinstar machines whenever you see them. Plenty of people don't bother to check the reject tray, which often can have a bit of change in it or awesome 90% silver quarters/dimes (the machines don't register silver and always spit them out) or foreign money.
Most arcade tokens are a uniform size and work everywhere.
On the subject of arcades, several games in Dave and Busters and similar places give more than one play per coin/swipe, and a lot of people just leave after only using it once. I actually once got enough for a pack of 3 shot glasses after just 30 minutes of finishing other people's games, which is fun anyway even if you don't win.
These are getting very specific and pointless and I am struggling to think of more, and it's quite possible that none of this is news to you, so yeah... I guess I'm done for today.

A couple years ago a guy got arrested for using arcade tokens that he bought a ton of off ebay. Don't most places use those swipe cards now anyway?

Yes, but a lot of games are impossible without tokens. They just make it so you buy the tokens by swiping the card.
And that guy deserves it. I just mean that, say you find a Chuck E Cheese token in a rental car or whatever. Go ahead and hold onto it because you don't NEED to use it there.

Here are my life hacks. Use them well.
After you have a party, make sure you pop the balloons before throwing them out. You'll save a fortune on garbage bags
Dental floss can be washed & re-used
Make sure you keep your monster size cup after going to the movies, you can use it as a vase or a toothbrush holder
Combine roadkill and a rake to make free broom for your kitchen
Hate having yellow fingers after eating doritos? Keep a tiny pair of chopsticks in your wallet just in case.
