I love entertaining guests, and cooking is no exception. This allows us to cash in on the savings without watching our money go in the garbage by food waste. There tends to be a ton of leftovers, and I suspect that many of them are wasted because they can’t eat them all. Go Frugal' Cutting Down.

We wasted more food (produce, leftovers, etc. We ate more quick/convenience foods. So, in a nutshell, not planning our menus cost us a lot of time, money, and probably contributed to us getting sick over the holidays (since we were eating unhealthy food). Leftovers – Ugh. We spent more on groceries.

Throwing food away is a waste of money so buy fresh produce locally that will last longer, learn how to preserve food longer, and eat everything before it spoils. And, be sure to eat your leftovers!
