of course the bean counters don't play with or analyse weights/fuel costs down to the most minute detail
We looked into reducing the amount of water carried in the aircraft system, for short sectors we would half fill with 100L instead of 200L. Some airlines print their inflight magazine on light weight paper.

Small savings individually, but when multiplied by 1000s of sectors per year it adds up.
