Tuesday Tip

A quick & painless money saving tip every Tuesday!

To cut down on the ubiquitous forgotten leftovers at the back of the fridge, package and organize the uneaten part of your dinner before it becomes leftovers!  If there is enough left, I usually use one night's cooking for two dinners, and I plan which night we'll eat the second portion.  If there's not enough for a second dinner, try packaging the leftover meal in individual serving containers for lunches - including side dishes and sauces.  Then you can effortlessly grab a container to take to work or school or just to heat up in the middle of a busy day.

If all else fails, just freeze your leftovers as soon as dinner is over!  You can always pull them out of the freezer and thaw them, but if you stick them in the fridge without a plan to use them, you might be growing an unplanned science project in a couple of weeks. ;-)
