Do you keep vegetables until they go rotten?

Do you keep raw vegetables in your refrigerator until they start to rot? Do you feel guilty when you have to throw them away uneaten? About a month ago, I resolved to eat better. And, so off to the grocery store we went, to stock up on fresh fruit and vegetables. And, while all of the fresh fruit was quickly eaten, many of the vegetables went to waste. We used the raw potatoes and onions in our chicken dishes. But,the celery was not such a big hit. Just today I was going through the refrigerator and found the last remaining stalks of long wilted celery. Even then, I hesitated to throw it out. Sure it went bad two weeks ago, but that stuff is so expensive. Who wants to waste? Now that I've confessed it, maybe I'll go back and dump the whole celery container in the trash. Luckily for me, the carrots lasted a big longer. So, I will be able to use those in upcoming dishes. Thank goodness for root vegetables!
