Food Waste and Hoarders!!
Other
Hate wasting money and foods!! Annoying stupid family members buys so much foods and snacks yet doesn’t sh*t eat them and they are expired!! And doesn’t throw them away!!
What’s the damn point buying from their trip abroad brings all of them back yet don’t eat them?!!
Shelves are stacked full gathering so much dusts!! So many damn sh*t empty and washed glass jars and dessert pots too pfft
I’ve been taking them to recycle, absolutely hate mess in the house!!
I rarely waste food, in fact I think I almost going into a state of mourning if I've bought something which I haven't eaten as its gone off. I honesty can't remember the last food I've thrown out. Unlike my cat's food which he is always losing interest in and I'm throwing out.
BonzoBanana same here I never waste foods unless it’s gone mouldy!! Yes I’m the same lol 
thanks for sharing your story too!
Is that so lol what’s your cats 
name and what does he look like?
kitty88uk He is called Conker and he looks almost identical to the famous youtube cat 'Owlkitty' except he is male rather than female. He makes similar although not the same chirpy sounds.
BonzoBanana cute 
name! Oh I’ve not been aware of that cat 
haha though I do seen so much cat videos on Facebook and Instagram lol 
We always waste food my other half won't eat anything if it's going out of date on that day and my little one doesn't eat all of her dinners
I buy loads when in France but its for home. We get stuff we can only get in the house
Jerseydrew it’s damn ridiculous when family goes to Hong Kong or supermarkets here buying so much foods don’t eat them and expire don’t throw away has a go when I eat some of them pfft!! 
I love watching hoarding programmes it makes me clean. I keep a few empty jars but I use them to make jams
Jerseydrew that’s good! You wouldn’t believe how many empty glass jars there are and there’s lots of plastic takeaway boxes that can be used again and again
kitty88uk We keep bread and milk until it goes smelly, but it has to be thrown in the end.
It's the pricing that does my head in. We bought milk in B&M yesterday and it was the same price for both 4 and 2l bottles. Doesn't make sense.
And as for bread, an 800g loaf of the bread we like is only 15p more expensive than the 400g one, so we buy the big one and feed the waste to the birds.
TheChimp I love bread and butter pudding, haven't had it for years, my mother used to make it.I may let today's bread go stale so I can make it tomorrow 
TheChimp I must admit those are the best bits, ordered it when out and it wasn't the same, maybe it's nostalgia
I hate food waste too. There is rarely any food waste in our house. If something is close to its use by date and I know we won't eat it before then I will freeze it. We will eat any leftovers the next day. Throwing away food is throwing away money.
MrsCraig that’s great well done 
we always eat leftover foods from dinner the next day! Nothing goes to waste when it comes to fresh foods like meat 
and chicken 
Omg exactly!! Food is money!!
Pfft the amount of foods not eaten and expired still sat on shelves or eventually thrown away is a damn huge waste of money!!!!!
MrsCraig I am exactly the same as you. All that goes in our food waste bin is fruit skins and bones. My husband came from a large family of 9 people in the household, nothing went to waste and we have carried that on. If we can freeze it we will if it’s close to date.
TheChimp I am a teacher, I work part time. My husband is also a teacher and works full time. I'm just tight. I will do everything I can to save money so that I know there is money in the bank for when there is an emergency. I don't always buy cheap. I will invest in white goods as they are used a lot but I will buy my sons clothes 2nd hand because he grows out of them so fast.
I am careful with money, I always have been. My son doesn't go hungry or cold and he doesn't go without. I would rather spend £2 on a toy car that brings him joy than a bar of chocolate for me. I prioritise where our money goes.
eyeballkerry our food waste bin is the same. Although I have occasionally used the pototo and carrot peelings and made crisps with them in the airfryer. Just to try something different. My parents and my husbands mum were the same. Nothing went to waste, they still do it to this day and we do it too.

We are good and have hardly any food waste, if there's something in the fridge I think we won't get around to eating I will freeze it. I also lightly meal plan so think that works well too.
I'm sure your family had good intentions. Maybe if they checked use by dates next time some of it could be donated to local food banks, frozen for later use or used up in recipes or what we used to call bit of this bit of that dinners. My daughter used to love the latter as dinner would consist of using up whatever was getting close to it's sell by date and it was a help yourself buffet.
I agree it does frustrate me a lot as well. It’s sad that people are starving then so much food goes in the bin. I do try to monitor my food usage to ensure that i don’t waste much.
I don't throw anything away unless it is off i.e.mouldy or smelly.I check the fridge every morning and plan meals from left overs first and when all are gone, I see what I have of interest in the freezer.I quite enjoy creating meals from left overs which can sometimes be quite interesting!
Food waste has always been a pet hate. Freeze it, share it, drop it round to an old or disabled person that you know etc etc. but what has made you suddenly become so angry about it. Reading your words its like i can almost see the expression on your face! I never have any food waste i have 11 grandchildren instead! X
