Another factor I forgot to mention. Depending upon the length of the roof, your waste will vary. For example: if your roof was exactly some multiple of the length of a shingle, there would be almost no waste. If, on the other hand, you threw away the centre half (or two thirds) of the end shingles, your waste will be up.
Also, when you start, you invert a row, to cover the gaps (assuming 3 in 1 shingles) in the first course.
