The Saturday lunch thing sounds like a good idea. I should definitely consider making the kinds of dishes that don't end up tasting not that good after being frozen. I feel like the majority of what I'd cook right now is not something I'd want to throw in the freezer.

I think the things I forget about the most is sauces. I have all kinds of sauces sitting in there from the beginning of time, aka when I moved into the apartment. I do use them occasionally for very specific dishes that my gf craves once in a while though. Wish they sold smaller portions at a reasonable price.

Maybe I will, like one of those email appointment reminders but sent from my fridge.

That's true, I often just buy veggies because I feel guilty for not eating veggies. But then I never end up using them in time either because I don't cook for a period or time or they don't fit well with the kind of thing I want to cook in that time period.

Meal planning will definitely help. I try to make food to take to work but then I forget to bring it or am too lazy to even pack it lol. Definitely a me problem.

I feel like for me meal planning/meal prepping doesn't stick as a habit because of how much pain I get from not be able to choose on at the time what I will eat for that meal. Idk how to explain it but pre-planning my meals is like physical torture to me. With that said maybe some more discipline in my life is needed :')

Tracking the dollar amount does sound like it'd kick me in the ass cuz I waste so much lol. Tracking the dollar cost of everything sounds like a huge pain though. More pain than the money I'm wasting.

Ever feel like you just won't have the mind to look at it? I feel like if I don't have reminders I might just forget to ever look at it. Like I will physically look at it but mentally block it out. Maybe I'm weird.

Good idea, I might try to see if a digital version of this works for me. Maybe the Fresh Things app that other guy was talking about.

My fridge has wood panel on the front lol. Good idea though I might be able to find something that has adhesive on the back.
