Wasted Food is Not Frugal
When you waste food, it’s usually due to lack of planning. You bought too much. You got too busy to cook it. You forgot you had it in the first place, and you find it at the back of the refrigerator when it’s too late. Sound familiar?
There are steps you can take to make sure your food doesn’t go to waste.

If you don’t like to plan meals (and I don’t), try planning meals for a month at a time. It takes longer, but it’s great to have it out of the way for weeks at a time.
And always plan a night for leftovers. I usually end up making too much food, so I’ve declared Sunday mom’s “no cook” day. On Sunday evening, everyone gets what they want from the refrigerator. If we ever don’t have enough leftovers, I can always make a quick breakfast for dinner.
