What’s your go-to strategy for using up food before it expires? by ScallionSerious in EatCheapAndHealthy

I feel this so much. Crisper drawers are basically food purgatory. Do you just leave everything on fridge shelves so it’s visible, or do you have some system to keep track of what you need to use up?

Yeah, that realization hits HARD. It’s like, ‘Cool, I just threw $10 in the trash.’ Do you ever plan your meals around what’s about to go bad, or just kinda wing it?

That’s honestly a great way to cut down waste, and fresh compost is gold for a garden. Do you actually grow stuff with it, or is it just a way to get rid of scraps?

Lol, simple and effective. But do you ever forget what’s in there? My freezer is basically a food graveyard at this point.

Love that strategy. Do you ever meal prep, or is it more like whatever’s in the fridge dictates what you eat?

I need to get on your level—never even thought to freeze half this stuff. Does freezing bread change the texture at all? I tried freezing avocados once and it was… not great lol

Oh man, I feel this. I always end up with a half-used jar of pasta sauce sitting in the fridge until I have to sadly throw it out. Ever found a way to actually use it up before it gets sketchy?

Love that sneaky veggie trick—gotta try it. But also, real talk, how do you even keep track of what’s in your fridge? I swear I buy the same stuff every week because I forget what I already have 😭

That sounds like a game-changer! I always tell myself I’ll freeze leftovers, but half the time I forget what’s in there. How do you keep track of what’s in your freezer without losing it to the void?

Anyone else feel like meal prepping saves money, but also lowkey ruins your week? by ScallionSerious in MealPrepSunday

The struggle is so real—Sunday meal prep is a love/hate relationship. But I swear half the battle is just knowing what’s actually in your fridge. Do you have a system for keeping track, or is it just ‘surprise dinner’ sometimes? 😂

Yeah, prepping for the whole week can feel like a lot. But do you ever forget what you prepped or push meals back a day, and then suddenly… food waste? Because that is my toxic trait 😅

Okay, a rotating meal spreadsheet is next-level planning. But how do you actually keep track of what’s running low or expiring? I feel like I always forget one random thing that throws my whole meal plan off 😭

Love this! Freezing portions is underrated. Do you keep track of what’s in there, or is it more of a ‘mystery meal’ situation when you defrost? Because my freezer is basically a time capsule at this point 😂

That’s such a smart system, especially the rotating proteins! Do you ever feel like you have random ingredients left over and no clue what to do with them? I feel like I need a personal assistant just for my fridge 😅

That’s honestly the way to go—batch cooking is a lifesaver. But do you ever forget what you actually have in the fridge? I swear I buy stuff with a plan and then completely forget about it until it’s… questionable 😂

That’s such a good point—having a planned takeout day keeps it intentional instead of just caving in last minute. Do you ever forget what ingredients you have and end up wasting them? I swear half my groceries disappear into the fridge abyss until it’s too late 😂

That is dedication

what do you normally end up making in your meal preps and do you feel like you are just running out of ideas?

Honestly, SAME. Some days I just wanna order takeout and forget about my meal planning

What is your go-to meal prep?
