All of my life I grew up with the saying, ‘waste not. Want not.” As an adult, this saying resonates with me. I bought this box of yummy delicious candy. After enjoying the goodness, I noticed there were large chunks of salt that fell off in the box.I collected that salt in a zip lock style bag. There is maybe half a teaspoon of salt here. (Sorry, I didn’t measure it.) I bought it. A little extra something with the candy. Salt added to my beef stew.
Waste not. Want not.
Growing up; my daily life was filled with the saying, “waste not, want not.”
When you’re young, what clue do you have in lives dot?
As we grow; we learn, “money don’t grow on trees.”
