Do you ever put together soups or stews…
that consist of groceries you want to eat before they go bad ? It sounds awful but I’ve created some great meals that way…

Food waste is, in my opinion, a "legal crime". [b]More than 40 billion pounds of food[/b] are disposed of by supermarkets and grocery stores each year; the remainder is sold to customers who will throw away another 30% of what they purchased.
It's important not to buy more than what you can be sure you/your family will eat. Leftovers can be used to make, for example, pizza.

@bijouxbroussard Try dried beans, lentils, peas, chickpeas etc.; also pasta and rice, and dry cheese, and, generally, non-perishable food.
Bread may be a problem – you buy bread only once a month??? 😳

@DrWatson My parents were children during the Depression, so they had similar attitudes. Unfortunately, [b]with[/b] that was a tendency to horde food, which makes sense when there’s a household full of people (my mother was one of ten kids). I’ve gotten out of the habit of needing to see my cabinets and fridge always full, unless I’m [b]planning[/b] a gathering, because it’s just me. 🙂
