Do you waste food ? WHY ,we always put leftovers in the fridge for the next day ?!
Answers:
Left overs (we rarely have any because I try not to overcook) always go into the fridge - meat, of course, will make a sandwich for lunch next day!.
Veges usually go into a box, for the freezer, labelled "Soup veges"!.
When I have a box full (roast potatoes are a great addition for flavouring and thickening), I make a thick mixed vegetable soup, with the addition of a stock cube and sometimes a handful of barley, lentils, etc!. A teaspoon of curry powder makes a spicy change!. A tablespoon of tomato ketchup enrichens!.
Vegetable peelings, chicken bones when not used for stock, etc!., go down the insinkerator!.
I take little or no notice of "Best before dates" - never had them till a few years ago!. Us old uns were born with senses which kept us safe - a sense of smell, a sense of sight and a sense of taste; if it smells OK, if it looks OK, if it tastes OK - it's OK!.
Only had food poisoning once in over 70 years and that was from mussels in a restaurant!.

We try not to!. Most of our wastage is from things expiring in the fridge or cupboards before we use them!. We usually eat left overs the next day!.
I am so paranoid about eating anything past it's best before/expiry date - we just don't risk it!. Especially with two kids!.
I am bad with veges, fruit and meat!. That is what most of our wastage is because I leave cooking dinner too late and so I go for the quickest things to cook and end up having to chuck out sprouting potatoes for example!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

We try our hardest not to waste food!. Anything I make has to be able to be my husband's lunch the next day!. And whatever else I make should be able to be frozen and socked in the deep freezer!. Food prices rise, and our paychecks don't!. It's a good lesson for us now, we'll remember it even when times get better!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
We don't waste much if any!.
Leftovers get turned into a new meal or ate as is!.
When I take meat off the bone, all the fat & bone goes to the dog to eat!. (Save for turkey bones!)
When something is no longer edible by us to our standards (been in the fridge for 4/5 + days) we give to our dog to eat as well!.

I try not to waste!.
The best solution I find is to cook more than I need, but enough to make extra portions, then either freeze down or refrigerate (depending on product and expiry)!. I find that cooking in larger batches also works out cheaper!.
