Not really.
Though researchers love to buy big expensive sample fridges or other equipment when they're ending a project and need to spend anything left over in the projects funds.
Is that waste to you?

For example the Federal government and public universities negotiate a rate at which F&A (overhead, facilities and administrations) can be at. Then the Federal government, since they're paying for it, ask for receipts. The money is being accounted for.
