I think you guys need to buy more versatile food then if you get so bored quickly. you need to look into spices. I don't mean to sound rude, but if you want to save money, you have to come to a point where you go "yeah i had this 2 days ago but beats ordering food" because it saves you money that you could be using for something else (saving etc..)
Plus learn to buy in smaller quantities, to me this seems nore like an issue of buying more than they can eat.
Also, has no one heard of a freezer?
If you want to get fancy, vacuum pack it. I'll admit, I cannot stand even the slightest freezer burn. It makes me gag immediately. Vacuum packing basically eliminates that.
Yes if your going to splurge on something, get a vacuum pack pump. It really does work. I'm too broke af to afford one right now and im kinda going through a break up and trying to find a place and shit, but once i can ill be getting one. I was personally raised to use everything from what you cooked with, scrap cuttings i use from veggies is for a broth i make to make a nice soup with broken up spaghetti. I am also very into cooking on a budget and look at alot of recipes, and also cook my cultural (Italian, no not american italian food) dishes.
You can do a pretty decent job with a ziplock and a water bath until you can afford one.
Put the food in the ziplock and submerge it in a tank of water up to the top of the bag while its still open. Then seal the bag while the lower part is held under water. Helpful to have an extra set of hands if you have someone available to seal while you hold the lower part under water.
Obviously not as good, but it does help.
yes ive tried this without success, party because no extra hands.
