I am using the freezer more for leftovers and also trying to buy less food. I am having a little trouble estimating how much food to buy now, as I am eating less.
I live alone, and a lot of fresh vegetables are sold in bunches, I can't eat the whole bunch by myself.
And I hate to throw out food also. My family did lecture me about starving children, forced me to clean my plate, etc.
