One of the top five worst things is having to throw away food. It’s different when it’s a box of leftover pasta in the back of your fridge that’s been there for a week. But it’s actually painful when you literally just went to the grocery store a few days ago, and those avocados you were saving for the right meal must be tossed in the trash. Rest in peace, poor avocados. Knowing that these situations are almost inevitable makes it that much harder to shop for fresh food.
Even worse is when you’re in a rush and you know you’re going to be stuck in class or meetings all day, so you go to make a quick PB&J. But you open up that bag of sliced bread, and there it is. Mold. Didn’t you just buy bread??? Not only does it feel wasteful, but now you have to spend more money buying a lunch somewhere.
