gc> 50 Posted January 25, 2013 I thought I was going to save all sorts of money each week because I was not going to eat as much as what was once normal. I am eating less. But the truth is that I buy many items, stick them in the fridge, eat a bit of each item, put them back in the fridge and eventually throw the item out because it is no longer fresh [expired or look expired]. This morning I threw out 4 half-eaten containers of cottage cheese or yoghurt. Anyone have a solution to this quandary? 1 Teka2011 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustJenn 542 Posted January 25, 2013 I don't have a solution because I am dealing with the same thing! Maybe if we buy the smaller containers vs Bigger package and finish all of the small. I don't know. .::SurgeryDate 7/25/12::. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

worm2872 635 Posted January 25, 2013 My husband always eats whatever I dont finish so I have my own built in garbage disposal. LOL I was just thinking this. And then there are the dogs. They all love my doggy bags. :wub: I will say I had this problem more at the beginning trying to figure out what the heck to eat. Now, I can eat all the yogurt so there is less waste.

lmcgloon 127 Posted January 26, 2013 This has been a problem in my house too, especially since I hate leftovers but my husband cringes anytime extra food gets tossed. I'm hoping its a temporary thing too because its been quite the waste of money when I thought I'd be saving so much too. I'm finding I'm spending more though because I'm buying new things and trying new foods. I guess like everything else in life after wls, this too shall pass.

litlsisred 20 Posted January 26, 2013 I find that I often freeze the leftover food so that I can use it as a quick meal another day. That and using the small portion cups sold at sam's to have them ready to go. I have 4 kids so they often take the things that I find that I don't like. I see that I am spending much less on food than I did in the past.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyn 21 Posted January 30, 2013 I thought the same thing, especially since one day I can stomach one thing , thee next day I can not , so I have half eaten things all over the place, feel bad and wasteful! I do not see a solution to this at all ..... my kitties are not fans of human food.< /p> Cyn-shakiraa-*12/17/12*Sent from my mobile Rnytalk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280 Posted January 30, 2013 Yes give them to my son he eats everything. Eating is fun. What I don't finish my teen finish. My hubby eats the left over sandwich. We don't waste food here. Yesterday I made scramble eggs there was left over wala it was today's Breakfast. Left overs become lunch sometimes dinner. Could be a quick snack depends. Since we are 5 I buy in bulk costco & local market western beef/stop & shop I separate the meat divide it in 4. I don't eat much so I'm more with steak & fish. Buy trix yogurt or la yogurt which is small container so it don't go to waste. Also buy what you need & if you have time go weekly & get only a few items. Good Exercise walking around the market ect.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
