Why I don't throw food in the trash

We really don’t know how to save money. This can be understood if you watch for a few days how much food goes into the garbage can. Some dried sausages, a forgotten piece of bread, half-eaten cookies, or even half a pot of sour soup. That's it. excessIt looks like it is being prepared for the future, but...



Editorial "Site" I was worried about this feature of our life and thought about what to do with it. Throwing away food is no good. Therefore, we suggest mastering a slightly different approach: after all, you can always eat fresh and not throw away what is left.

What do we usually do? Prepare food for a week ahead, because on weekdays after work somehow do not want to spend evenings at the stove. And it is good if the family is normal people, and not swallowed. A couple of guys usually take out all the supplies in three days. To some extent, this is a plus, because after them you will not throw anything away. They're turning their noses!



So there's no control here. messyAnd we have to do something about it. In this regard, it seems to us, it makes sense to turn to the experience of travelers who go hiking for a long time, and therefore fully think through everything they take with them. Food is the same thing.

One of our readers decided to try this method not only in hiking, but also in the city, in her own kitchen. It is enough to follow the norm of products per person per day. Based on this information, you can calculate the diet at least a month in advance. This is what people do when they go camping.



Let your faithful friend in the kitchen become food scales. Stop cooking by eye. Suppose you know that it takes 50 grams of cereal for one person to make porridge. And 75 grams of meat so the porridge isn't empty. Multiply by the number of people you are going to feed, and then by the number of days. A maximum of two days, the food should be fresh.



All other products are the same. Basically, for one person a day you need an average of two potatoes, a hundred grams of pasta, the same amount of fish. Let's say for two people, small-size You can cook while you are going to work or make blanks that you put in the freezer.

You can crumble the greens in advance, put some cheesecakes on, boil the broth. Then just add the right ingredients, eat more fresh and, most importantly, do not overeat. Always remember that a woman eats a little less, so the portion can be divided in favor of her husband, who is used to breaking over the plate.



It happens that the remains are formed anyway. Maybe we should do something. discharge-day And just the side dish. And try to finish everything else. Although it is possible that you will have to throw away, since the products have already spoiled. Of course, for the holidays, you will have to cook more!

This approach only seems unusual, in fact there is nothing wrong with it, you just need to get used to it. You'll be surprised how much less your husband has to take out the trash. For the sake of this alone, it is worth trying! And now write a comment about what you think about this approach and whether you will use it in your everyday life.
