@mousiegirl That would be me. Everyone jokes about me because I don't eat leftovers.

The way I figure it, if I'm going to eat calories it had better be good tasty calories and I just don't find that with leftovers.

That was my Mom even after my brother and I moved out of the house there would be bits and pieces in the fridge, just in case

@Annabellethecat66 We do eat leftovers, I count on them as I don't want to cook every night, but there are bits and pieces of things that aren't seen so end up in the garbage.

I will not waste food so that's what's in my fridge too. I had a relative who would throw everything that was left over at supper into the garbage. So wasteful.

A week? More like 3-4 weeks and then you are afraid to open the mystery container.

I do that too. My DH says I have to culture my leftovers before I throw them out. I have thrown out some great science projects.

Sometimes we will eat leftovers. It depends on what it is.

And sometimes my daughter will take them home when she picks up her daughter at my house on her way home from work.

Yep, all the nice storage containers will keep leftovers about 3 weeks longer before they get tossed. Lol. I do better using them to repackage lunch meats and cheeses rather than uneaten casserole.

@mousiegirl, I would send this to DH. I am always cleaning out what he has forgotten🙂. LM

I don't know what I'd do without leftovers! They have a shelf life, naturally.

If you waste money on not eating leftovers,you must have no money worries.

I do that all the time. LOL

Then once a week, I purge everything and clean out the fridge.

@Bri36 I cleaned it out yesterday, and it had been longer than a week, surprised at what I found, lol.

Oh, yeah...lol That's me. The last little tiff hubby and had was over cole slaw. I made sandwiches forSaturday lunch and insisted that he stop on the way home and buy some and he said "Yes! I'll get the cole slaw so you can throw it away next Saturday". Ticked me off....because he was right...lol

Funny cartoon!

I have a friend who keeps things in the fridge so long that she has to throw the container out, too! Ugh!

My husband loves those plastic containers and I absolutely detest them. We never eat what he puts in that stuff.

Funny cartoon!

I only keep leftovers for a couple of days max. If it is something that can be portioned and frozen I will do that of course, like pasta sauce, soup. I made a pumpkin bread and I knew that DH would not finish it before it spoiled so I froze half of it.

Now that it is just the two of us I am trying to make smaller dinners. I almost don’t eat (can’t) so it’s really like cooking for one.

I made a chile relleno bake the other day that I used to make family sized. I had to cut that down and make it in an 8” square baker. It was great but we still had leftovers.

Then when our son comes for the weekend I have to totally switch gears. He is 6 feet tall, slim and an eating machine!

This is funny because I just put some squash and some leftover stuffing from last Sunday's dinner into two lock 'n lock containers...my husband insisted he would certainly eat them sometime during the work week. Guess what I threw out today?!

And as someone else mentioned, I, too, have been guilty of throwing out a whole container because the contents looked like they had grown so grotesque that no amount of cleaning under the sun would have brought them back to their original state!!!
