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.

Lots of people do it
I might have a couple weeks worth of sandwich meat (leftovers from my lunches during the week) that I'll throw away all at once
My brother has a completely packed fridge with old shit and stuff he's never gonna eat or has long expired
My mom did the same
@histoire3 a couple weeks isn't bad at all. i'm talking about like, 3 individual cream cheese containers, all at various levels of usage, all with various levels of mold.

Yeah I don't get it either
It'd be one thing if they were storing stuff to actually use later, but it's just going to waste
