Sometimes I’ll just become unable to eat a certain food anymore for whatever reason (taste, texture, smell, etc), and then it just sits in my fridge until it expires. I know I shouldn’t, but I feel bad for not eating it and it stresses me out a bit. Especially when I bought a lot of it to stock up.
Do you live in an apartment building? In mine we put a food box at the entrance where people can share food with each other.
