I'm terrible about letting stuff linger in the freezer too long. In the case of single-serving frozen vegetables I give them to my dogs (nothing toxic of course). They love eating frozen stuff and it feels better than just tossing them in the trash.

I Failed At Anime 2022

I still haven't been able to plan well enough to use up all of my groceries before they go bad. Half an avocado, half a jar of pasta sauce, a tomato, 2 drumsticks, 4 tortillas, and a pound of potatoes were this month's casualties.

This is a big issue for me and I hate it, especially when I'm tossing something out and think "welp there's $3 right into the trash" :sigh: I spend more per item plus drive further to get to a store that carries smaller packaged items like milk in quart cartons, because it feels like less of a waste to use up the smaller amount vs getting a gallon of milk at the closer store and pouring out 2/3 of it because it went bad before I finished it. Anything that can be frozen gets frozen which helps, but I still end up with fresh veggies or something that I bought thinking "I will cook X and Y for dinner this week" and then never got around to it and forgot to freeze them before they got nasty.
