Put Away the Leftovers Another way to increase your savings quickly is to try as much as you can to save money from your designated weekly budget. Instead, put that leftover cash into your savings accounts. From $300 a week to the weeks where you have some of that leftover, find one week where you spend absolutely nothing.

This may sound counterintuitive, but you actually save money when you buy in bulk. Casseroles are another great way to use leftovers from another meal. On those occasions when you cook a whole chicken, turkey, or ham, use the leftover carcass or bone to make the stock for a soup. There’s still meat on that bone!

Designate one night a week as “raid the fridge’ night to get rid of leftovers. Everyone’s plate might look different, but you’ll at least use up the leftovers and reduce the waste. If you don’t think the food in the fridge will be eaten before it goes bad, place leftovers in a freezer container, label, and store in the freezer.

I do think this makes sense on occasion When you have a huge container of something, it’s handier to pour it into a smaller container for regular use. I should add: obviously if you buy bulk foods from a packaging-free/low-packaging store, then it makes sense to put that food into containers. No need to pay for a label.
