Small amount wasted - order less! (3,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
not as much
'less' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'small amount wasted order' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'wasted' is an anagram indicator.
'order' becomes 'CH' (abbreviation for Companion of Honour).
's'+'amount'='samount'
'samount' with letters rearranged gives 'notasmu'.
'notasmu'+'ch'='NOT AS MUCH'
