I end up structuring my diet based on what spoils first, so I check what I have available and generally eat what is most likely to spoil first. It gets tricky when I buy too many groceries all at once.
I know this sounds super obvious but in the past year I've finally realized I can freeze things. I mean I used to freeze things too but not nearly as liberally as I do now. Now whenever I have too much of anything my first question is does it freeze well? It turns out a lot of things freeze well. Most recently I've been freezing jalapeños because I dont use them often enough when I buy them.
I think it does. No one ever admits to it though, and they don’t let it affect their self esteem.
It’s a trick that I’m still learning
I make a meal plan for every week and only buy ingredients I need for those meals. Saves me money by having me buy only the things I definitely need, and time by having to make only a single trip to the grocery store each week.
I really wish half loaves of bread were more common.
Lewis makes half loafs around here, check Walmart or other big grocers.
Just pick 7-10 daily meals you intend to make on your own and buy only what it takes to make those things. I never throw food out, but only because I only buy what I know my family will eat. Then every 1-1 5 weeks I buy that again.
Wash and freeze some raw potatoes if you can
i had the same potatoes in my fridge for over a year. they made chocolate. or that's what it looked like, i did't taste it though.
...what??
