Leftovers?

i'm frugal, there's a difference

>>17094990
Ok poorfag

>>17094913
>>17094983
More likely cheap plastic boxes and cramped fridge. At least in my experience ironically leftovers are a thing of richer and more educated housholds. The same kind of household that could afford a new smartphone for each of their kids twice a year no problem but instead ban them from getting one for years.

>>17094913
Bloodapples for omad

my friend so po (how po was he)
my friend so po they used to eat out of tupperware that were permanently stained because of all the knife marks and scuffs.

legit being served dinner at his house was rice and a pork chop served on on a tupperware lid with a fork and spoon

>>17094913
No wonder they are poor, they are wasting their money on stupid shit like I cant believe its not butter spray. Are they stupid because they are poor, or are they poor because they are stupid?

>>17095107
Both. This is why I don't support the homeless or the needy.
Spend time with them and you'll realize they aren't ordinary joes who're simply down on their luck due to reasons, they're absolutely shit people whose shit decisions lead to their shitty state and they have no intention of changing.

>>17095002
rich people are rich because they dont throw their money away on stupid shit

>proof that i'm poor

My fridge is stacked to the gills with snack foods, pork steaks and cube steaks.

>>17094913
I'm not poor, I'm a cheapskate

>>17095000

Kek came here to post this

>>17094913
There's a difference between being poor and being thrifty. Often people are poor for not being thrifty enough. Poor people have empty fridges or some left over pizza. People who stack their leftovers in tubleware containers are most likely middle class white families. Op is a faggot

>>17095044
>tupperware that were permanently stained because of all the knife marks and scuffs.
This is all plastic tupperware, regardless of wealth.

Switch to glass.

You don't get rich by writing checks

>>17095424
I don't think googling recipes is the sign of a low tier cook on the scale as the rest of your points. Being a good cook isnt equivalent to remembering shit.

>>17095424
hmmm around here certain non granite countertops are high status. Thick wood, kerrock, stainless... I would honestly prefer kerrock to anything, because it doesn't have any seams, is easy to clean and it isn't cold.

This. I'm frugal as fuck, so is my wife. We return bottles, clip coupons, shop at costco for the big stuff that we'll always need like TP and paper towel. We eat at home and grow a lot of our own veggies and hunt and fish our own food and try to lessen our reliance on the grocery store jews. We do most DIY stuff ourselves. I can't think of anything we've paid someone for with the exception of getting a new hot water heater (bought a fixer upper). Our home is valued at 33% more than what we bought it for due to our hard work and we're just stacking cash to pay off our debt. We can afford to go on vacation, go buy a new car but don't, we drive a 10 year old beater because if its not broke dont' fix it. The goal is to retire. To not work anymore. We live a little for sure but you definitely have to do the little thigns like cook every day and eat leftovers or eat PB&J or something. You gotta be cheap with 'the little things' and that will build up over time.

>>17095337
Ok poorfag

>>17095444
I was referencing my teenage years where i was staying at a friends for a week and she got her cookbook out to make spaghetti. Spaghetti is something I could make without looking up anything because I've done it 28 times. These kind of people......was kind of an over generalization.

>>17095464
You sound poor as shit. There's a difference between wasting money and trying to save every tiny dime.

>>17095424

I don't even understand why people give a fuck about this
>pantry and freezer filled with microwavable/oven for 350 for 30 minutes bullshit like hot pockets, dino nuggies, digiorno, microwavable soup, mac & cheese, etc
I do this now that I live alone, but not at home with my family. Even now it's not bullshit arguably, just pizza, vegetables, and high protien TV dinners.

Yea

>>17095464
If you want to save more money then stop using paper towels. Use rags and clean them.

>>17095464
I earn 6 figures and still choose to live in a house share with 5 strangers and drive a 15 year old car.

Frugality was just drilled into me growing up poor as shit and the habit never left. I still batch cook and eat leftovers all week. But its all in service of buying a house in a retardedly expensive area so its almost like i dont have a choice

>>17095481
Well I'm married with children but i would suggest you buy a fixer upper, live alone, and fix it up yourself. Rent is basically paying someone elses mortgage. Maybe wait a bit though the market is at record highs right but when it collapses it'll be a time to strike. A nice paint job, a good cleaning, etc can increase the value of a home. Then you are still paying rent but you can sell for what you bought it for and still get 10,000$ in equity in 2 years after purchase if your really want to.

>>17095476
This is a good idea.

>>17095468
I remember when I randomly cast accusations on 4chan and thought I was a good troll. Whatever you say buddy!

>>17095097

>>17095497
>Rent is basically paying someones mortgage

I don't like this RENT IS DEAD MONEY shit. I pay $500 for all bills included rent and don't have to worry about any taxes, fixes, etc. Waiting for the gf to finish studying before we find a place to buy. I fucking suck at DIY there's no way I could fix shit up anyway.

>>17094913
saying "your" when you mean "you're"
fucking poorfag

>>17095524
Before I bought my house I barely knew the difference between a Philips head and a regular. Everything is on youtube. NOTHING is that complicated. Most of it is just hard work (physical labor) but not too complicated. I'm not telling you to tile your floor but you can paint, landscape, fix some pieces of trim, pull carpet, lots of stuff pretty easily. You may re-think that. Food savings was huge though. The worse for me was going out to lunch at work. When I started brown bagging it I really started to save money.

>>17095498
>your
Guess who's the dum dum? Retard.

>>17095551
I appreciate you're snark but your just not getting it

>>17095424
>non-granite countertops
Butcher block is nice
>no knife set
No, a knife set on the counter is definitely a sign of lesser means. They're always a set of cheap knives. If someone cares as has the money, it's going to be individual purchases for a good steak knife set and the specific cooking knives.

Other than those two, I mostly agree.

>>17095497
>Maybe wait a bit though the market is at record highs right but when it collapses it'll be a time to strike.
House prices are not going down. It's only up from here.

>>17095558
The type of response I would expect from a retard.

>>17095569
It's another bubble IMO, either the housing market will crash again, or the dollar will crash

>>17095572
precisely. how the esl coming along?

>>17095548
I started and then stopped brown bagging. Yeah I saved money but it was fucking boring and miserable. I went full jew mode for a while like I guess similar to you're doing, but I was having no fun and got pretty miserable. Think i've found a decent compromise.

I'm sure i'll learn to fix shit up but I have two left hands when it comes to this stuff. Luckily the gf adopts many of my habits with food batch cooking and being a frugal fuck so should be able to get someting that doesnt need too much work

>>17095497
I remember when you were a broke faggot.

>>17095419
where do i find tupperware with glass lids?

>>17095424

>>17095424
>shoyu in the fridge

>>17095424
>Casseroles are a staple
>don't have zip sauce, cocktail sauce, some other exotic sauce
Only ones that rang true when I was a poorfag.
Still sometimes make casseroles.
Might sauté a big onion tonight, toss that with slightly undercooked rice, beer, parmesan, and mushrooms, bake that until it gets nice and brown on top.

>>17095625
literally just google "tupperware with glass lid", just buy from Pyrex. but make sure its real pyrex.

>>17095497
Renting gives you geographic mobility for to easily move for better jobs.

Owning a home is nice because no one is above me or below me, but I have watched my neighborhood slowly go to shit for the last 20 years. Every 10 to 15 years or so my house and garage needs a new roof, and my home needs a new furnace / ac, new water heater, plus new appliances as they wear out. Your looking at tens of thousands of dollars on top of your mortgage every decade or so out of your pocket. Plus property taxes that the continue to go up despite my area going to shit, and home owners insurance, and flood insurance if you live in a flood prone area. I need my driveway rerocked, my lawn mower needs fixed. My house is older so it needs some remodeling / electrical work done. Its always something with a home.

>>17095625
The lid doesn’t matter as much as the dish, unless your food is overflowing when you put the lid on.

This is my fridge rn

>>17095817
Did you know the water from the tap is drinkable?

>>17095801
What board do you think you’re on?

>>17095820
not here

>>17095577
agree

>>17095655
Not necessarily but for example I have Sze-Chaun Sauce I use for fried shrimp and fried chicken. People who can't cook are frying shit at home usually. This is what I mean by that statement

>>17095676
Casseroles are good every so often but they are depression era food. They're okay once in a while i guess.

>>17095770
If you want that sure. I have no desire to leave my state and family, personally.

>>17095808
if you'd read the thread, or at least the conversation you're involving yourself in,
you'll learn that anon was complaining about being served food on a ratty old tupperware lid

>>17095829
schezwan sauce has like 5 ingredients in it that you should have on hand if you think you have any business judging other people's cooking

>>17095823
Where do you live?

>>17095830
I was the one who told him to switch to glass, retard. If they can afford tupperware, they can afford reusable ceramic plates from the dollar store.

>>17095867

Oh my bad, Hey guys how about them spicy mchickens?

Better?

>>17095817
what kinda monster is that?

>>17095898
You mean the one under his fridge?

>>17095872
Are you trying to find pure glass lids without even silicon for the seal? You could always use a glass lid like a decanter I guess, but wouldn’t defeat the point of tupperware?

>>17095472
>non-granite countertops
>I don't even understand why people give a fuck about this
what kind of countertops do you have presently and do you use your countertops for prep, or mostly just storage?
non-granite would be better said 'laminate', a cheap alternative to solid wood or stone countertops that is usually a thin printed sheet of plastic, or at worst just a fucking decal, slapped over plywood or particle board. they are unsanitary as fuck, scratch easily, melt and warp, and once the surface is damaged, the wood beneath absorbs liquid, further warping the surface and making places for mold and cockroaches to thrive. also laminate countertops keep you from enjoying the central facet of a good kitchen--a recessed sink

>>17094913

The best thing about growing up a well managed poorfag is that you don't have to learn the skill of save first - spend later. Saving up a good emergency buffer budget you won't touch and making a plan of what kind of money you can afford to spend while still saving some comes easy with some impuls control and while people might see you as the poorfag you are for a decade until your savings for housing and backup are done it seems so much more comfortable than to live the other way around.

Badly managed poorfags and even richer families seem to grow kids that spend the mayority of their money (or money they don't even have) without planning on impulse buying or fancy things that only seem to be useful in appearing rich. Easy to waste most of your work that way and fall down if a job is lost, the dept reaches too deep or the parent sponsoring stops.

>>17095577
Not good as investment to quickly increase your money but it's a good safety measure, expecially if you rent it to older family members. They get nice landlords that won't throw them out, you get rent money and in the worst case scenario you can move in together and have a place to live.

>>17095248
Yeah, I was homeless because I moved to a city for a relationship and when it ended I had to gtfo of her house. No friends or family in the country. I ended up in a men's homeless shelter, and I can tell you that the people there were a lot kinder and more decent than the ones in most places that are more prestigious. I'm a 7 figure certified sales pro, with significant holdings in real estate investment. If it weren't for Christ fags and their charity, I wouldn't be here today.

I know tons of frugal/poor people to the point that it might be a mental illness that do this shit. They use that fake butter container or cool whip containers as tupperware. They also steal ketchup packets from fast food places and creamer from mcdonalds so they don't have to buy it. One of my friends moms actually uses empty 24pack of coke boxes as their bathroom trash bin. I'm pretty frugal myself, but these people work way too hard to save pennies. They should be taking their money and investing it and letting it make money overnight so they don't have to worry about using White Castle mayo.

>>17095002
>>17094913
Thanks for one of the dumbest threads ever posted on /ck/ because your mentally ill OCD ass thought it was cool to throw away any leftovers.

>>17100215
The worst part is that you don't even have to be poor for this mental illness to come about. I don't remember wanting for food, clothing, shelter at all in my life, and yet my mother is a hoarder and her main hobby outside of watching cable all day is stuffing away food and junk like a hamster. To the point where we have a perfectly fine basement and garage, but it's filled to the brim with junk that she'll cry and shit her pants if she sees you trying to scrape away some of it into the trash. Same thing with the fridge. The freezer is always filled to the brim with "I'll make it someday" food. The pantry is the same. The foods we do eat on a regular basis, we have to squeeze it in between everything else. The fridge is filled with all sorts of leftovers, the countertop is always a mess, etc.
I think the radical minimalism that you see younger people earnestly adopting is an equally insane reaction to the insanity of their boomer/genX parents. At least for me it is. I start sweating if I'm in a room with something useless in it.

Yeah I watch Hoarders and its all boomers. Buying shit from China. Shit they can't throw away because they'll never use. Neither of my parents or wife's parents are "hoarders" but they definitely engage in rampant consumerism and have storage bins full of shit they'll never use. They buy sit they don't need and send it to my house. Millenials and Gen-Z are a bit more minimalist and just against buying this shit they don't need.

>actually throwing away leftovers

My family had money growing up and we still kept leftovers for at least a day or two. Its the smart thing to do. Why would you throw out perfectly good food?

I was broke but I wasn't poor. What I mean is it was kind of by choice, a lifestyle more than anything. I never went without anything except by choice and I always had a lot of free time. I was from a decent family so I always had a safety net and I appeared with a fully kitted out kitchen. I didn't quite understand at the time why other my fellow poor people didn't just make stock, bread, soak beans overnight etc. I didn't understand why they just didn't take some of the store cupboard staples and whip up a quick pasta dish. Most of them were working two jobs just to pay rent and the fridge contained one withered potato and some beer. Trying to give cooking advice to people without lightbulbs in the kitchen whose power was off so often they didn't bother using the fridge. People who didn't have a chopping board, a chefs knife or basically cooked with a plastic jug and the microwave. People also consider you really weird when they've never eaten anything exotic or strange before and you are like ... hey why not make a giant lentil curry for lunches at work this week? People would get bullied by the brain dead subhumans working at the warehouse for rocking up with anything strange.

there's a difference between who you're thinking of and who they're thinking of.
you're thinking of the ultrawealthy shitlords who inherited everything and stole the rest. they do everything retardedly at all times and their defining characteristics are sociopathy, luck, impulsivity, and nepotism. typically going to be nw 50mm+.
they're thinking of people who have a relatively modest wealth and will never have to worry about money again, are liable to pass a fair amount on to their children, and will never again experience a circumstance where they do not have enough money to fix it. gonna be nw 5mm to 50mm.
the prior folks are almost universally retarded. the latter folks are typically smart, but sometimes they're just lucky. they usually don't spend what they don't have to, they live well under their means, they find happiness in doing so.
even upper middle class folks who have these attributes end up being pretty well off.

What did they mean by this

>>17105539
I dont even know. Pretty sure this was the former residents fridge.

>>17094913
Frugalfag reporting. I only have a mini fridge to save on electricity, and I'm EXTREMELY careful with it. I only plug it in if I absolutely need to keep something cold. This is probably for 3 or 4 weeks max per year. I keep things out that you're "supposed to" refrigerate like cheese, processed meat, and fruit juice. Often, if I have just a small thing that really needs refrigeration, I'll Ziploc it and bury it about a foot in the soil that's outside my suite's window. I keep food outdoors in the winter, and if it's at least 85 degrees out, I keep hot food fresh by putting it in a reflective bowl in direct sunlight, and then putting it into an insulated bag and burying it in the soil again.

I think the cheapest thing I've ever done was, while preparing dinner for a guest, I had some cream I needed to keep cold for dessert, so I put it in the fridge and used the coils on the rear of the fridge to (dry) sous vide some cheap beef for the main course.

>>17105435
yeah that's a chair

Very rarely is it because someone is down on their luck.
Even if there was a massive redistribution of wealth, the poor bastards will have money for some time and end up poor again. It's not because some greedy capitalist exploited them, they're literally too fucked in the head to understand fiscal responsibility.

I don't even have a working fridge.

>>17105831

>>17102173
It helps when you have friends and family that take up gardening and hand you tons of produce for free every spring and summer

>>17105855
>Very rarely is it because someone is down on their luck.
Not that rarely. Have you seen what healthcare expenses are in the US? Most of the country is one unfortunate accident or unlucky diagnosis from bankruptcy, regardless of how hard they pinch their pennies.
No one blames the system for irresponsible people making themselves broke. But the nature of the system makes it somewhat difficult for the responsible poor to work their way upwards, whereas irresponsible wealthy people have to screw the pooch non-stop to become poor. That's the dichotomy that people really have an issue with.
How to deal with irresponsible morons is a chicken-or-egg problem that I don't believe any country has quite figured out. On the one hand, you want to respect personal freedom wherever possible, on the other hand, some people will never put money into savings, be taken in by every scam that comes their way, and constantly put themselves into scenarios where they are in emergency medical care. They will always be a burden on society at some level, the question is just when and to what degree society should intervene in a way that serves both parties the best.

Rate my poorness

Question for anyone that feels like responding:
Why are some people so disgusted by the concept of leftover food?

>>17105925
Years of corporate brainwashing telling them to consooom new products and get rid of every product that isn't brand new right out of the box. Same reason they keep buying new phones even though they're all the same

>>17105427
>2000
The fuck? Do you think you have to make a deal with the blinds cartel?

The problem I have is improper storage.
Have you ever put warm food in a sealed container and then into the fridge?
You're creating an insane nest of bacteria. If there's any condensation or dampness inside of it due to that, you're making a huge mistake.
That's my only issue with leftovers - retards not storing them properly.
>>17105910
Black/10

>>17105925
I haven't seen the root cause, but I see it amongst people who didn't grow up eating leftovers. Usually the same people who say something like
>Anon, are you about to eat some of that chicken soup? It has been sitting out on the counter in that bowl all day, because you forgot to put it in the fridge this morning!
Yeah, you bet I ate that soup. A lot of people seem to think that you'll be hospitalized from food poisoning if you eat something that wasn't at most a few minutes out of a fridge or hot pan.

yes

>>17106415
Everything just works out. I look at myself and my peers, none of us should be as comfortably off as we are. We've never put effort into anything. I just grew up around the right people, met the right contacts in college, didn't piss the wrong people off, and landed a cushy job delegating work and maintaining records. I'm not fooling myself into thinking I earned it, but I'm not dumb enough to give up what I've gotten.

>>17105997
Elaborate on your process for properly storing leftovers. Do you actively cool them before storing them, or do you let them settle to room temperature before refridgeration?

>>17106644
Room temperature is fine, or directly in the fridge so long as its not sealed. Just anyone sealing warm food in a container and putting it in the fridge is asking for botulism or worse.

>>17105564
