every roommate i've ever had has some weird problem with buying food, forgetting they have it, and then it expires and instead of throwing it out they just keep it around and buy new food again. rinse and repeat until 8 months down the line when the fridge and freezer and pantry are all too full to put anything else in and we have to go in and throw away like 6 trashbags full of expired food.

is this a normal thing? like wtf i only buy what i know i'm going to eat and if it does expire i chuck it almost immediately. seeing other people's habits with food like that kind of sickens me tbh.
