Here's something I don't do anymore but I regularly did back in college when I was a broke mofo. The University of Miami food court had 3 or 4 restaurants under one roof, with a couple of soda fountains between them. You would buy a soft drink at the counter, they would give you a cup, then you would fill that cup at the self-serve fountain. I would just buy a cup once, use it, then wash it out and stash it in my backpack to re-use the next day.

But that's not really "un-baller," it's just stealing.

So in a similar vein, I download MP3s illegally instead of buying the CD for $15.
