How can I save money and not waste food?
No More Wasting Food
Whenever you have a small amount of leftover food after a meal, such as a cupful of peas, a small amount of rice, potatoes, meat, etc., place it in a plastic container and freeze it. Rather than throwing the food away, continue adding to the container whenever you have leftovers that are not large enough to keep for another meal. When your container is full, use the leftovers as a base for a savory homemade soup. This will give you an entire meal that you would have otherwise thrown out.
