The other day I saw a very small amount of green beans saved in a
plastic
container.

I admit I don't think that amount of food (maybe 3 or 4 forks full)
is
worth
saving and I would have tossed it.

What to you is worth saving and how do you determine it? Cost?
Amount?

I save cooked veggies if there are enough for at least 1 seving as a side
dish.

I save meat if enough to use as at least 1 serving in a meal. Smaller
servings can go in a salad.

I save most bones for soup if no-one put them near their mouth. (I hate the
word noone seems to be the incorrect way to spell noon.)

I save Liquids stuff cooked in if I have a immediate or next day use for
it. Example: Potato water is a nice addition to soups or to cook rice in.

But I'm one of those you must clean your plate people, ingrained from
childhood.

These actions are my frugality. Not the price of the foodstuff. I won't
save one egg white if I need 1 yolk or vice versa. But if I need 3 or 4 I
will. But I usually chuck them out 4 or 5 days later If I haven't used them
yet (not used is the usual case).
