For as long as I can remember, my father saved. He saves money, he saves disfigured sticks that resemble disfigured celebrities, and most of all, he saves food. Cherry tomatoes, sausage biscuits, the olives plucked from other people's martinis --he hides these things in strange places until they are rotten. And then he eats them. David Sedaris
About This Quote

Saving money, disfigured sticks that resemble disfigured celebrities, and most of all, saving food are some of the more common ways that people save money. And of course, the best way to save food is to eat it. Saving food is not necessarily a bad way to save money. Saving food for later use is a great idea. Saving food to eat later may sound crazy until you realize you can be saving money and still eating good food.
