Someone else would have bought these plums and treated them right.

    This is why I like living close to a grocery store. I make lots of small trips instead of a big one.

    This is the way. I just buy what I need every day. Barely ever waste something

    I shop once a week, and get everything I need for the week. One trip, twenty minutes in and out. No processed packaged foods, mostly fresh and frozen vegetables, fruit, and organic chicken (no antibiotics). Zero food waste, because even fresh vegetables will survive a week in the fridge. On the last day before shopping day, my fridge is virtually empty.

    I don't like shopping, so I made it as efficient as I could.

    Why does this look like Leslie Nielsen doing an impression of the main guy from The A-Team, while cosplaying as Ric Flair?

    I feel like the fridge thinks people can’t change

    Me every other week throwing out the food I thought better me would make. No. You ate the easy food like always, numbskull.

    But are there any leftovers of sloppy steaks?

    I bought these plums for you, past me! The fuck?

    Don't think I have ever really had this problem. I just eat the stuff I buy because it would be a waste of money not to.

    Also best before dates are just a suggestion.

    I love how my local grocery stores sell steaks at a deep discount when they're a day or two from expiring. Like, 75% off for aged beef? OK, if you insist.

    I miss when heavy discounts like that were common. Much harder to find now. They usually manage to sell it off at much lower discounts instead.

    I’ll eat leftovers a week later and people act like I’m eating a baby. Sniff test motherfuckers, heard of it? People waste so much food it infuriates me.

    I helped my parents clean out the refrigerator a couple years ago. I found the usual expired jams and jellies and other pickled things that were about 2 to 3 years overdue. But when I went into the freezer the oldest date I found was something that was hovering on 20 years past due. It's amazing how people neglect their icebox.

    I been so fucking strategic with my food this year that for the 1st time in my life the freezer food gets eaten and I have to go shopping cause we are eating everything in the fridge. I buy small eat everything and repeat and I gotta say it’s a good feeling.

    Literally have a few oranges in the way back that have been in there for months.

    If oranges could stink, my fridge would probably stink.

    That's why we need to normalize food sharing and foster the community
