Last year I got annoyed at how much waste we threw out. So I started to, when cooking mashed potatoes for instance, there are two of us, so instead of cooking just enough, I make a huge pot, then divide into containers and freeze. Then whenever I want to make mash as part of dinner, I don’t have to do it fresh, just pop the container into the microwave for 8 mins and….. lovely fluffy mash :-) likewise, when making lots of other things, like lasange, I’ll make two large lasanges, then use a little for dinner, the rest is sliced and put into individual tubs and frozen. There are so many things that can be made and frozen for later.
Saves in all sorts of way. Saves power, because you’re only cooking, for example, lasange the once but you have enough for lots of dinners stored away. I do this once every 2 weeks or so. It’s cut down the amount of waste, and has helped me too, because I work shifts and I don’t always feel up to cooking when i get home. Also, don’t buy the big brand names. The own label products are just as good and far cheaper.
