Indians, by rule, are good with money. As a group of people, who can stretch money and get every value from it that’s possible. We are good at calculating on the go, figuring out what we need and keeping track of where we may be getting a better deal for the same things. Here are some things we have all done so there is #NoWastage of our money.
Doggy bags are always for us, and we’re not ashamed of it
Pack the rest please!
While eating out if we order extra and then the left-over food is always taken home. It is always enough for another meal so why waste it?
We like to customise things for ourselves
Totally Flexible
One size does not fit all. We are firm believers in the fact that we can stretch things if we are given the option to customise to our specific needs. That’s why we love the concept of make your own salad, choose your own pizza toppings and pay only for the services you need with the Airtel MyPlan. #NoWastage, anywhere.
Using a bucket instead of the shower
Wash clothes while you bathe!
Every Indian home will have a bucket in the bathroom. In a world where there is extreme shortage of water, the Indian habit of using a balti to bathe with means we use only so much, while using a shower means a lot goes to waste.
School books are passed on through the generations
Books passed on
In India the concept of hand-me-downs are applied to books. School books are saved especially if you have a younger sibling or cousin. Why should they buy the same course books when you no longer need yours? No wastage of books, paper or money.
Mixing water in Shampoo bottle to get the last stubborn bit of soap
Till the last drop and then mix water
Hey you paid for it, so it makes no sense that you wouldn’t use all of the product that you bought. It gives a whole new meaning to “Jab ghee seedhi ungli se na nikle…”
