@carrr_uhhh: Here’s a money, saving hack for you! #money #savingmoney #frugalliving #budget #creatorsearchinsights

Denise Surber :

take a picture of the contents of your freezer, fridge and pantry and tell Chat GPT, Gemini, etc, to help you make meals using what you have on hand.

Alma :

Don't go to stores hungry 😁

user7889658583702 :

I cook one meal a week for my adult daughter. When she leaves, I portion out the leftovers, label, and stack in freezer. I have so many meal choices and I rarely cook. I might spend $150 a month on food. And I have a small garden packed with produce. Almost free:)

🦋𝐿𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝐴𝑛𝑛🦋 :

We have been doing this for over a year zero food waste!

Deidra :

girl sometimes I will get so low on stuff, that I'll make a few tenders, a few legs,a couple breasts,then just make some penne pasta with butter and pepper plus a random veggie from the freezer or cabinet and call it dinner. my family loves it when I go in there and throw a meal together and it ends up being amazing!

Puercosfitjourney :

every 2-3 months I do a full purge of what I got. my meals look interesting for a few days but it has helped

Adnaramore :

ChatGPT helps me pick recipes with my random ingredients

Yoli Here :

yes! when I had the kid home (32 now) We would play Chopped the cooking show. Who came up with best meal wins bagging rights..🏆 oh and fend for yourself dinner on Wednesdays because we had church . thanks for this... ahh all the memories

Angel Evans :

I’m just too lazy to

Mrs. Tucker :

Absolutely. i shop my pantry and shop my own closet

Gloria :

I can probably make 12 meals I just started doing this. I grew up poor and now fill my pantry cause I can. So I'm trying to make meals with things I have and escepially in this heat.. crockpot meals. Not heating up house and easy peasy .

user4267259774102 :

If I have to pick up some more produce before I finished everything, I put the items that we already have on the second shelf and in my head, we have to use those things first

DogMomOf4 :

I’m so guilty of this I don’t always check my pantry

TW7417 :

Irena :

Emily :

I have a chest freezer in the garage that needs defrosting but can’t do it because I keep adding to it. I buy meat when it’s on sale a lot. I really need to stop adding to my freezer and use what I have. I admit guilt!

Carolina Norena :

I feel like when I dont do groceries offen enough it gets so much more expensive 😳

trishamarie5491 :

I do this often and love it! I’ve transitioned to being an “ingredient house” by using up all we had and then only buying ingredients/staples to cook/bake from scratch. Convenience isn’t only super expensive, it’s generally full of so many preservatives that it’s less healthy. This took time but was so worth it on multiple levels. We did a lot of “clear the cabinet” soups and casseroles lol.

DanceswithElephants :

We started doing this. Game changer. We never throw out food.

Mary Trent :

I do this. It saves us so much time and money, and I actually cleaned out my fridge and freezers this week to reorganize it and tossed things that were forgotten about or expired. And I said huh I can get away with just buying milk and half and half and tea bags and not actually going to do a big haul this week.

Sarah Carlton291 :

why do we have to use it up first tho. surely you could use it as you go

Sharon roberts 🇯🇪❌ :

This is how I live weekly I meal plan weekly and even my meat mince 500 gram pack will last me 4 meals I did the hello fresh and after that my meals weighted out to the same as there’s I got 3 meals for 2 people and it lasted 6 days.
