Does this sentence sound nature? "You don't have to waste your money upon travelling"

Hello everyone,

Does this sentence sound natural?

It's about fast food - I think it's one of it's advantages.

"In addition to the time, saved to an already busy life, you don't have to waste your money upon travelling to the supermarket so as to purchase ingredients to be then cooked for long. Therefore, it assists people with cutting back on costly fuel and energy"

No. Use "on" or nothing instead of "upon".

I think on has the same meaning as upon, but upon is more formal, isn't it?

Please see my corrections. Your title should read "natural", not "nature". As the others have said, "upon" is wrong. I wouldn't use anything at all there.

Don't waste your time worrying about things you can't change.
He wasted his time carrying all those boxes up the stairs.

Note that "so as to" was unnecessary in your piece. It's not grammatically wrong, it's just very unnatural here.

Be careful with "it's" and "its".

I would consider it to have a rather more formal usage.
