Answer:

Collins English Dictionary defines the phrase 'waste not, want not' as 'The expression waste not, want not means that if you do not use too much of something now you will have some left later when you need it.'

The given phrase 'Waste not,want not.' can be rewritten as :

If you do not want it, do not waste it.

Here, the conjunction 'if' has been used to combine the two sentences. Collins English Dictionary defines the conjunction 'if' as 'You use if in conditional sentences to introduce the circumstances in which an event or situation might happen, might be happening, or might have happened.'

If you do not want it, do not waste it.

The sentence is a simple sentence. To convert to a complex sentence, you add a subordinate clause, which may be a noun, adjective, or adverb clause.

The sentence implies that if one does want something, one shouldn't waste it.

So in this case, we use a noun clause. Since the sentence seems like it is directed at the reader, we use the second person noun clause 'you'.
