[quote=Anonymous]For one thing, give her a budget. Maybe you can gamify it a bit to see how much a dollar will stretch.

Second is try to encourage her to eat leftovers. I didn't at that age either because everything seemed gross reheated in the microwave. Doesn't she ever make dishes that are so good she can't wait to eat the rest tomorrow? Teach her how to reheat in the same method in which it was prepared (in a pan, the oven, etc, not microwave).

Third is teach her how to be creative with what's left. Maybe introduce her to the meal prep reddit. Again, make it kind of a game. If she's making meatballs and has meat left over, teach her to cook it with taco spices and store it to make tacos. Teach her to grill up some chicken that can be used during the week for various dishes like pasta or wraps. Basically it's not leftovers, it's a pré prepared ingredient. The bonus is that you can have her separate out the vegetables and meats so you can eat those, and then she can prepare them with her starches that you can't eat (pasta salad, paella, etc).
