We were throwing away a ton of bread until we started putting it in the freezer. Sometimes, we will dump out a lot of milk but we are working on drinking at least one glass a day so that doesn't happen as much. We probably throw away a lot of side dish type leftovers, because we forget about them and we go bad.
-
Lettuce. Sigh. And my husband SUPER hates that I leave it rotting in the fridge for forever....lol. I say, "Just like you can't "see" the mess your hairs makes all over the bathroom sink, I can't "see" the rotting lettuce in the fridge. I clean the sink, YOU throw out the lettuce if it bothers you".
But he doesn't.
-
Celery. Because I only ever need a little and don't particularly care for it as a snack or anything.
-
cilantro and parsley. Because we can't buy it in small quantities, and we never use the rest after we use the little we need for a meal.
-
Side dish leftovers, and salad stuff. Somehow we always end up with wayyyyyy too much lettuce.
-
Grapes and bananas! I always buy them and then forget I have them
-
Carrots and Celery. If I don't clean and chop them immediately they are left in the fridge to rot and wilt.
-
Cilantro! I only use a tad for a recipe then the rest goes bad.
-
bread, too! DH has something against freezing it so I really don't know how to solve the problem...
-
@rrachael: I was actually against freezing it too until I realized it doesn't taste any different, I'm so happy I gave it a try!
-
@Running Elley: throw old brown bananas in the freezer! Defrost for banana bread/muffins. It looks awful but tastes great.
Greens and parsley. I'll cook some and then the rest will go bad before I get back to it.
-
Vegetables because it comes in such large bundles and hubby doesn't eat veggies. Just me.
Milk - buying a gallon of milk is way cheaper than buying any other size (so odd, I know) so I always end up dumping the last quarter. I try not to, but drinking a gallon of milk by myself is a pretty daunting task!
-
@RRachel: where I live there are bread companies who have started selling half-loaves because not everyone can eat a full loaf before it gets stale/moldy
-
Potatoes - we never seem to eat very many in the bag.
-
Probably lettuce and strawberries. We always forget about both until they've gone bad (and I hate that because I love strawberries when I remember we have them).
-
Veggies.
-
bread, cause it gets moldy fast for some reason! my house is so ..grr.
and orange juice, maybe. for some reason I never finish the last inch or so in the bottom of the glass. weirdo!
-
Basil and parsley!
-
Used to be milk, then I started buying 500mls. We freeze bread. If bananas go "bad" i bake a loaf of banana bread.
I always seem to forget stuff in the crockpot though. Woooops.
