In China, when someone didn't respect my advice, then I say this to him or her.

That means you should follow the way which I had told you.

“别”“不”“不”三重否定还是否定。意思是别拿我当回事。
应为“别拿豆包不当干粮”，意思是“别拿我不当回事”或“别不重视somebody or something”
至于英文期待经典翻译。

恩

顺便提一句
中文有时候双重否定还是否定的意思
经常看到有人说：差点没把我吓死

其实这是错误的用法，但是用多了，也就成对的了
这就是人多的力量……
最明显的就是“角色”的读法……

Never underestimate the effectiveness of a straight cash bribe.

The best I can think of right now is

Every penny counts.

Yes this has nothing to do with food, but it still matches in the sense that every little bit is worth saving and shouldn't be wasted.

我觉得很难翻译. 要看在什么场合下用，才能有比较接近的英文equivalent  ..
