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.
