A joke that can't be seen as a joke. What other economic waste have you experienced?

Our parents or grandparents experienced material shortage and developed the virtue of saving, but now many saving behaviors have not produced practical results, but have caused more waste. There are many such rescues and wastes of life. Let me give you a few small examples to see if you have similar experiences.

Fresh meat turns into frozen meat.

Mom saw that the meat in the market was cheap, so she bought dozens of pounds and put them in the refrigerator, feeling that she had made a lot of money. She ate the meat for half a year. Mom, there is a difference between frozen meat and fresh meat, not to mention the price. At least it tastes very different. I spent half a year eating frozen meat at the price of fresh meat!

New tea becomes old tea.

My brother-in-law sent several boxes of tea to my father before tomorrow. Dad can't bear to drink it, and he doesn't know how to keep it. It took more than a year to take it out to entertain guests, saying it was new tea. The guest said it didn't taste like new tea after drinking it. Dad said it was the new tea the year before last. The year before last? Would you like some more tea? Directly devalue by half.

High-end cigarettes are moldy.

My friend gave my dad a high-grade cigarette and thought he had finished it. He took it out to greet everyone on his sixtieth birthday and found that the smoke was a little moldy. It's been two years since I delivered cigarettes!

Eat watermelon and have loose bowels

There is still a watermelon left over from the day before yesterday in the refrigerator. I meant to throw it away. My mother stopped me in time, saying I couldn't waste it. I insist on eating. I vomited and diarrhea that night and spent more than 700 yuan in the hospital.

Ask for leave to buy peanuts in the country

Mom asked me to take half a day off to accompany her to the countryside, saying that she asked her relatives to buy 100 Jin of peanuts. I have no choice but to go. On the way back, my mother was very happy and said it was cheaper than the city 100 yuan. My mom, I spent almost 100 on gas, and I took a leave of absence and deducted 100, but I am happy when you are happy!

Anyway, please don't blame them. The times they experienced were beyond our imagination. It is precisely because they saved little by little that they supported this family. Maybe times have changed, and they have developed a habit or even a sense of insecurity, so that they can't change this habit of saving money for a while! This is not intentional, occasional waste, and it is not their intention! It's harmless, just be happy!
