22. Use Leftovers

When you’re eating or preparing food, what’s the first thing you tend to do when there’s a little bit left over? You throw it in the trash, right? Stop doing that! If you’re chopping vegetables or preparing rice and there’s some leftover that you aren’t going to use, keep it to one side to throw in a stew later. If you don’t eat all of your meat, give it to your dog as a nice treat for his/her next meal. Essentially, when you’re about to throw food away, ask yourself if that could be consumed at a later time. Just because it’s not going to be eaten there and then doesn’t necessarily mean it’s no good!
