That doesn't stop you from Meal Planning ahead and only buying what you need for that week.

And leftovers can often make great soups, stews, and curries. They can last in the fridge for about a week.

    Sure, but I just wanted to point out that some of us do not have freezers that can store a lot of food. Whenever I see people being like "just freeze the leftovers" I look at my freezer like "how?". If I put a bag of beans, a bag of ice and some springrolls in there, it is filled to the brim.

    People shouldn't assume that everybody have tons of space to store perishable foods. That's all.

    In my household we usually go for small packs of food when we shop groceries. Meats and vegetables etc. We go for small sizes because we don't want to end up throwing out food. It's not cheaper, but it is less wasteful in the long run.

    I have a reasonable sized freezer, not a huge one, but I feel like if I put a bag of ice in it I'd have very little space. Ice cube trays will leave you with more room.

    I gave multiple ways to reduce food waste. You only responded about the freezer and clung to it, you're still talking about it. If you have your own method to not waste food then this post and my comment aren't about you, stop playing the victim.

    I'm not playing victim. I'm just pointing out that some people have tiny freezers.

    Then use any other of the methods suggested, stop going on about freezers!

    You really do not have to be this aggressive, my dude. I don't have meal planning issues, I just wanted to bring up one aspect of meal planning that doesn't always work for everybody.

    People work with what they have, I just wanted to mention the thing about freezers because people tend to always assume that everybody has a lot of freezer space, which isn't the case. That is all. No need to get all bent out of shape over it.

    Oh my god youre still going on about freezers, just stop it. No one cares. Multiple methods were said, go do one of those and ignore the bit on freezers, how many times? Are you just trying to be a troll or something? Stop replying.

    I did talk about how we do things in my household but you completely ignored that part and went hysterical about the freezer part. I then tried to explain to you why I brought up the freezers and now you're having a conniption. Maybe you're just having a bad day or something or maybe we are talking past one another, but I was not trying to troll you. I guess that it doesn't matter what I say though, but I hope our paths will cross another time where we don't talk past each other like this.

    No one went hysterical, you're just being obsessive and weird and still continuing to go on about something I dont care about, in fact no one cares about, yes we're past talking, I asked you to stop replying and yet you're still here, moaning. Just leave me alone, I couldn't give a fuck anymore, just go away and live without a big freezer in peace. I hope our paths never cross again, you're weird and annoying.
