[As indicated in the title, this is a reference to an article of Lifehacker.com, my main lifehack-inspiration]
As a student, I go home for the weekend most of the time. And during the week, unexpected thing keep popping up, fun things such as eating with friends, annoying things such as extra classes, extra hours of team work, deadlines and so forth. Result: huge troubles to stick to the shopping list/meal plan. That is, if I got around to doing it in the first place ;-)
So, this whole 'damnit, left this or that vegetable in the fridge for too long yuk yuk yuk' sounds familiar. See what Lifehacker has got to say about it:
Choose fruits and vegetables that last for months to stop wasting food and money
Other then what the article suggests, I'll keep this in mind not while shopping, but while eating. If I bought veggies for a whole week, bI'll eat those not on the list first, so, if something unexpected happens, I can use the others next week.
Also a good inspiration while trying to establish a stock of some kinds, again for those busy/lazy nights, when running to the shop seems like climbing the Mount Everest. Twice.
(As an extra: keep a log of the food you throw away)
