    Yeah I go once or twice a week. Everything goes into the fridge, even stuff that's not supposed to. Any type of bread goes straight into the fridge. I know that dries it out or whatever, but otherwise I simply will not eat it fast enough.

    I tend to forget I bought something until it is too late, but when I actually cook food I will finish everything that I made.

    This. If someone else serves me way too much food, the blood is on their hands when I don't eat up, not mine.

    that reminds me of the first time I went to the local greasy spoon for a fry up on a sunday morning. I actually couldn't physically eat all that food. I genuinely wondered if they had the same menu as a children's meal.

    When I went to Norn Iron and had a fry there I was completely stuffed about halfway through the meal and I finished it anyway because it was just that amazing.

    I finished the chocolate milkshake too.

    Sometimes I take food I actually want to eat, that is in perfectly edible condition, and I throw it out.

    I discard food routinely and without apology. If I decide it's unfit to be eaten, it is not getting eaten.

    Wasting food is stupid. I've considered going dumpster diving at some supermarkets many times now. I think I'll go soon with a friend of mine. You can find all sorts of greatness and save money in the process too.

    I worked at the food court in Target for a while and I hated it because every night you had to throw all the food away

    EVERY NIGHT, FRESHBAKED COOKIES GOT TRASHED

    It was so sad

    Yeah, Steve is actually talking sense. I also go to the store 2-3 times a week. It really cuts down on what you waste.
