Consider cooking it, then you have something to eat.
I love cooking, just can’t ever get motivated to do it
Then stop buying it.
But then they have nothing to eat.
They’re not eating it either way.
But they have it
Hahaha! Even tankies gotta eat! (though I’m not actually a tankie. Just happened to pick .ml when I joined Lemmy)
Try premade meal replacements like huel lol.
We cook and eat the food.
Go away, you tankies with your common sense
Only buy stuff you’re excited to eat
A slow cooker helps. You can use random ingredients before they go bad easily enough, and you will have left overs so cooking one time results in not having to cook for multiple meals.
I live walking distance from 2 small super markets, I walk to those near every day and just get a few things and I also get hello fresh and I always cook those. So generally my fridge is pretty empty but I always eat well. Just in Time Home Economics you could say.
Buy food that has a long shelf life - lentil, rice, beans, canned vegetables, salsa jars. As a bonus it also doesn’t have to be refridgerated.
You now have gout from eating too many preservatives.
That’s … not what causes gout.
High sodium intake from too many processed foods can absolutely cause gout.
Utter nonsense.
If you say so, I’ll just keep taking my allopurinol so my foot doesn’t swell up again.
Yes, and what does sodium intake have to do with anything?
Meal plan. Write what you’re cooking for the week, buy only ingredients for that.
Anything uncooked goes in the freezer, you can defrost and cook/reheat a lot of food, stop throwing stuff away.
Problem is that some of us have freezers the size of matchboxes, so it is very limited what leftovers we can put in the freezer. It’s something I have attempted to tell my parents who have big freezers and lots of good ideas to how you can buy this and that in bulk and just freeze it for later and save so much money!! Cool. But my freezer is still the size of a matchbox.
Protip: Save up, buy a dedicated freezer. Like a “redneck hunter’s garage” style one. Nothing fancy, just a white box with a dial on the front for how cold you want it. Cheaper than the fancy flashy fridge freezer combos, and much more usable space (although you have to stack stuff inside). A lot cheaper than you’d expect. They also come in a variety of sizes, from small to “I need space for three bodies”.
Awesome. Where should I put it? I live in a small apartment. My kitchen is the size of a shoebox.
Pro tip
Move to a bigger house
-
Consider therapy or medication.
-
Buy nonperishables in a higher ratio, such as canned, pickled, or dry goods.
-
If you’re not concerned about your health enough to cook your own food every day, then just don’t buy food that has to be cooked every day.
-
Remind yourself why you’re doing it, set a timer, and get it done. “This is for me. I love good food, I love my body.”
- Food prep. It maybe cuts down on variety but you only have to cook once. The rest of the time you’re just warming something up.
I second food prepping. If you want more variety, separate some of the prepped foods from each other so that you can mix and match.
