Every time we chucked out rotten food, I was counting how much money we spent on that one. IT really adds up!!! I'm slowly figuring out what to do when it comes to food management. As with everything else, it takes organization and a lot of thought. Also, I realize that you can do a lot of cooking one day a week, freeze most of it, and you'll be amazed how far it goes for the week. For years we were throwing away food.

It makes it easy for a frozen-dinner lunch or a dinner on the go. I love to cook extra and freeze a few individual-sized meals. It makes it easy for a frozen-dinner lunch or a dinner on the go.

I hardly have the same schedule any day. My work schedule is fairly consistent, but I often have meetings right after work. That takes me to a lot of fast casual type restaurants to eat on the go.
