I’m better at buying “good food” than actually eating it
Cleaned out my fridge last night and it felt like looking at a list of things I meant to become.
Not takeout. Not random snacks. Mostly the food I bought because I was trying to be better.
Spinach for eggs.
Carrots for snacks.
Cucumber for lunches.
Half an onion wrapped like I was definitely going to use it tomorrow.
Greek yogurt that somehow became background decor.
I think my problem is the middle part. I can buy decent groceries. I can cook sometimes. But once the leftovers or opened ingredients go into the fridge, they sort of disappear unless they’re directly in front of my face.
What’s helped a little is making a tiny “use first” list instead of pretending I’m going to track the whole fridge. This week it’s cucumber, yogurt, and rice.
Anyone else have a low-effort way to keep the almost-forgotten stuff visible?
