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.
@teto there is no reason to have a full fridge unless you have like a family of 6
@teto i've asked why they do this and they legitimately just forget that they have bought something. they'll use it once after they buy it and then it gets tucked away and forgotten about. i think the main reason for that is because they eat out so much that they just don't look at the food that they have at home.
