Everybody wastes things; there’s no point in arguing that. Even the most
careful, the most frugal person will wind up wasting something at some
time. With most people, it’s not unusual to waste food, gas in the car, and
money on all sorts of things.

What would you say is the biggest waste of all? No doubt many things you
purchase and never use or don’t enjoy the way you thought you would may
come to mind. You might waste money on a new cell phone that you no
longer find exciting after the first week or on cable channels you never
watch. You may waste gas in your car running too many errands when you
could have and should have combined them into one. Perhaps you wasted
food by not using it before it went bad or by cooking too much and throwing
away the leftovers.
