A good chunk of any given New Vegas / Skyrim / Fallout 4 playthrough is hunting materials to craft an overstock of buffs / food items, and I never end up using even a quarter of them.

New Vegas usually gets the best use rate though, since I'm always determined to sell my Stimpaks and heal exclusively through food items (and any Logan's Loophole run gives me a darn good excuse to be a pill-popper).

I tend to collect every round of ammo I find, then eventually stash the collected ammo in a select place, like the Novac motel room. I probably have a hundreds of mini nukes, missiles, and grenades there, yet I hardly ever use explosives aside from mines to set traps and the occasional dynamite to clear mines I don't dare to approach. Curse you, Lonesome Road's satchel charges!

I've also collected pretty much every weapon, from the powerful and unique to the ubiquitous and useless, repaired them to 100% condition, and... then don't use them.
The same applies for the armors and clothes. It's kind of a pain to collect the prostitute and Vegas tourist apparels, but I did! And I don't have use for them either because they offer nothing special aside from their looks.

I'm toting a compliance regulator and a fully-modded laser rifle and mostly let my companions do the fighting, and I wear clothes that boost my stats, not my DT, so I can more easily pass speech checks / hack computers / open locks etc.
What do I need power armor and a fatman for when my explosives skills is about 30? Well, I found those around somewhere, took them, spent half of my caps to have them fixed, and put them in a wardrobe in the Novac motel room to never to be used.
