I keep all my cut words in a separate file - you'd be surprised at how often I dip back in and get those words for another section. I think our brains work in very strange ways - what seems unsalvagable now is sometimes just a weird kind of planning ahead. I didn't need to count those words in the end, but I would have if my word count had been under.
