This makes sure the leftovers get eaten in a timely manner, and eliminates the time and worry of what to eat or pack for the next day’s lunch.

Compost them

Food scraps and leftovers are great for composting as they provide fertilizer and nutrients to the soil for plants to grow.

Plan meal portions

If you don’t want to deal with having leftovers at all then you can start by planning out meal portions for you and your family.

A fridge full of leftovers can be a blessing or a curse, it’s how you handle it that makes the difference.
