Are you looking to stretch your dollars? Eating leftover food works great if you:
- Are on a tight budget
- Want to create less waste
- Are concerned about the environment
- Want to cut back on spending.
Save Money: Eating leftovers lowers your grocery and fuel bill because you make fewer trips to the supermarket. The price of food is already high, add in the price of gas and you have a recipe for empty pockets. Limiting frequent trips allows you to put away the ATM card.
Save Time: Spend less time cooking and more time doing what you love. Who said you have to cook every night? Recycling leftover food allows you to stay away from the stove. By eating leftovers you can eliminate preparing a complete meal three nights a week.
Save the Environment: Spending less time in the car saves on producing CO2 emissions, as does using less electricity through cooking. Using leftovers means consuming less resources, creating less waste and is a responsible and smart way to live.
