Sounds very sensible, actually.
I also hate to see stuff going to waste. Something inside me gets very tense when I see food being dropped into a bin, and this has got worse since I started my compost heap (e.g., "you might not want that, but it could feed the worms and nourish my soil*")

And I'm intrigued by this Book Warehouse - looks like one of them is only a short detour from my walk home, so I think I'll have to investigate.

Edit: Oh yes, and my flatmate always makes a point of drinking any leftover gravy on a Sunday. I suppose if nothing else, it's a nutritious drink, being full of condensed cow and vegetable boilings...

it's best to let the gravy congeal
and then have it on toast

Ooh, now there's an idea...
Although, with the amount of cornflour I tend to put in my gravy, it usually starts to congeal before dinner has even finished.

Book Warehouse
You have to hunt around a bit (they seem to mostly display the books called "Madonna's Hair Styles 1981-1982", or "Feng Shui Your Way to a Better-Behaved Dog" - really pointless stuff), but you can find some very good things. The one at Waterloo also seems to do a good line in "Artistic photography" books - including quite a lot of porn.
