waste less food

This weekend I got so excited at the thought of cooking my own meals that I spent way too much money on groceries, and when Monday came around and I was at school all day for 3 days, I wasn’t home to eat the food and it’s starting to go bad. Note to self: When shopping, only shop for 2 days!

I’m getting a little better. I don’t buy as much food anymore, and when I shop, I try to think realistically about when I’ll eat it, and try to eat things that will go bad sooner first. At times, though, I won’t “feel like” eating what’s in the fridge and prepare something else, then the fridge stuff does go bad. Need to work on that.

Pack your lunch! Every day! No reason to have good food sitting at home getting bad while you spend more money on lunch out! Tsk tsk…

It breaks my heart when I don’t eat something soon enough and it goes bad, so I have to throw it out. I need to work on making more shopping trips for less food (if I want it to be fresh, anyway). There really is no need to make big shopping trips like my parents used to do back in the day because there is only one of me, and grocery stores are conveniently right on the way home.
