Answer :

answer:If I am in a restaurant (casual restaurant like a diner), and my daughter wants to take home the leftover bread, I will also take the individual pats of butter. If something is on sale, I’ll buy a few, even if I don’t necessarily need it. Soap, shampoo, coffee K-cups, whatever. Even if it’s from Costco, when they have a “money off” I’ll pick up more than one so when I need it again, I don’t have to run out in desperation and pay full price. @Aster: “Use bath towels half a dozen times before washing?” I’ll use them two weeks before washing, sometimes. I figure my body is clean when I dry it off after the shower.
