These saving are not bad habits we should teach our children and youngster to save the resources, My mom always check my tooth paste before giving me new one from our store many times she shows how can I use my paste few more times. it is not being scrooge but you can save it and give it to needy. What makes you happy when you through away 25% unused stuff.
This is too much but still hold the value. By the grace of God since my childhood I never face any money related problems but my mom teach me many good things about wasting resources, Thanks to Mama.
