This is thrifty but not for you. It's for a stranger.
Bill and I walk a lot and when we do -- Thanks dad for teaching me this! -- we ALWAYS pick up nails, screws, scrap metal, tools, and other pointy bits from the road. They go into the nearest recycling bin.
The rationale is to save someone from a bad day via a punctured tire.
The universe having its own agenda, this does not mean that you won't find a screw as we just did and have to get, after much travail, two new tires.
On the other hand, how many punctured tires did I avoid, as well as saving someone else?
We will never know.
Pick up those pointy bits from the road and save someone's day.
Saving other people from trouble and, one hopes!, helping oneself
