買い物の失敗
A shopping mistake
昨日、スーパーで買い物をしていた時のことです。とても安い野菜を見つけて、嬉しくなってたくさん買ってしまいました。しかし、家に帰って冷蔵庫に入れておいたら、結局使いきれずに腐らせてしまったのです。
一人暮らしだと、どうしても食材を余らせてしまいます。安いからといって買いすぎるのは良くないと反省しました。これからは、必要な分だけを買うように気をつけたいと思います。無駄を減らすことは、節約にもつながりますからね。
Translation
Yesterday, while I was shopping at the supermarket, something happened. I found very cheap vegetables and was so happy that I bought a lot. However, after I went home and put them in the refrigerator, I ended up not being able to use them all and let them rot. Living alone, I inevitably end up with leftover food. I reflected that it is not good to buy too much just because it is cheap. From now on, I want to be careful to buy only what I need. Reducing waste also leads to saving money, after all.
