What kind of disorder might this be? I can't figure it out.
When someone has tons of money, yet is EXTREMELY cheap, goes to great lengths to save one dollar, consuming time and energy like no tomorrow, steal things of little value, and take full advantage of situations in which they can benefit, at the expense of others, even family members.
They also take ANYTHING that is free just because it is free and have no use for it.
If someone else in the house threw away a bottle of $1 cleanser, this person would go digging in the garbage to retrieve it.
They also take HUGE risks legally of getting arrested to pursue this "hobby".
Is there a term for this?

Sounds like a combination of kelptomania, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and hoarding disorder.
Seriously, this person has a mental problem and needs help. Something upstairs is misfiring, and they may benefit from intervention.

there's a customary saying that is going like this: "there is not any such subject as a unfastened lunch". What you're searching for surely would not exist. each internet site that supplies you a unfastened some thing is going to get you thru making you sign in for a definite volume of different centers from a number of their companions. So what it comes all the way down to is risk is you at the instant are not likely to get something completely unfastened and there is often some danger in doing them.

Isn't this behaviour called sociopathy? Read Martha Stout's THE SOCIOPATH NEXT DOOR. Her advice is to stay as far away from such people as possible; they can be dangerous.

I believe the correct term would be "loser".
This individual has a serious case of OCD. Get them to a doctor, STAT!

stealing things of no value is kleptomania.... this person has more than one problem!
OCD would probably cover it.
