Use it up: what to make with food that's about to go bad
Short answer: Cook the most perishable food first (raw meat and fish in 1–2 days, berries and greens within a few days) and turn leftovers into a new meal within 3–4 days.
Common questions
How do I stop wasting food I forget about?
Keep the oldest food in front, plan meals around what expires first, and keep a list with dates. PantryPalz does the last part for you: it logs food from a receipt and reminds you before it goes bad.
