I don't save scraps to use anymore. When I did, I found I rarely used them and the bins and drawers were full of scraps. Now I put my scraps in a large tub and when it's full I take it to my guild's free table or to a retreat I'm going to. Everyone loves to dig through a scrap bin. I do to but not my own. I don't get rid of any scraps from the quilt until the quilt is finished. I get tired of hearing but that is such a waste to get rid of them. I'm okay with that, no guilt at all. My goal is to make the quilt or project not to use up fabric scraps.
