Unused and forgotten

Prompt: The Daily Topic: "Why do we store it then? Write about something kept in a pantry that is almost never eaten or used."

I had bought corn and chilli sauce to make vegetable fried rice and noodles…though I did make them once in a while, but suddenly no one wanted to eat them. Everyone at home had stopped liking it for some reason, still unknown to me; hence I had to stop making them. It has been quite some time but the two ingredients bought for the dishes have since then never been used. They have been just lying in the fridge ever since. I don’t feel like throwing it away. Its expiry date is still far off. These things can last very long if kept properly. And I am still keeping them with the hope that maybe someday, my family decides to eat the two dishes and I will need the two ingredients. It’s at a lot of times that we end up spending money on things which we hardly or almost never use. It’s always a good idea to keep a check on the items bought especially for the kitchen; else one will keep stacking and then throwing…
