I despise wasting paint. But when I cut back, I severely undershoot and end up not mixing enough for what I need. It is impossible to get the exact right amount out – that is a known rule of the universe.
For creativity's sake, it is better to overshoot. So with all the excess paint, I've decided to repurpose them to create non-serious paintings.
On blank canvas, I'll partition areas for every color of the rainbow. Then I'll add to the painting bit by bit with whatever I have leftover at the end of every paint session.
I am thrilled with this solution. I will feel less bad about extra paint and it's a good way to do more abstract paintings.
