Keeping a friend’s leftovers

If you have friends who can afford to not take home their leftovers from the restaurant, swoop in and take them. A good friend won’t judge you. If your friend is in a financial position to just leave half of a pizza on the table, you should take it home. That’s tomorrow’s lunch. When you go to a smoothie place, your friend gets a fancy $12 smoothie, and the smoothie maker says, “There was more in the blender than I could fit in the cup. Want the remainder?” and your friend says, “No thanks,” you swoop in and say, “I do!” Hey, you just got, like, $6 worth of fancy smoothie for free. Your richer friends leave a lot of stuff that gets thrown out. Don’t let it go to waste.
