Leftover Drama

I can't tell you how many times I find myself throwing out leftovers because we simply forgot about them. We're trying to be better about it. Do you find yourself saying, "It's okay, I’ll eat it later…"

Do you fill your fridge with leftovers, but end up forgetting about them and not eating them? A lot of us do, according to a new survey. It finds that on average, we put leftovers in our fridge three times a week, but a third of the time forget about them. So how much food do we waste? Over the course of a year, people spend nearly $3-thousand on unused groceries. The hardest foods to use up are lettuce, bananas and milk.
