[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is 18. I am the only one who is eating leftovers and this is not fair to me. Her dad and I  before he died, used to own a bakery/restaurant, [b]so we are used to buying in bulk. We have 2 freezers that are generally full. [/b]Leftovers get put in the freezer but are never eaten because she is always busy making the next thing and will not eat leftovers. Also, a lot of the leftovers are concoctions that contain carbs I cannot eat.[/quote]

So this is the problem. You need to rethink your entire set-up. You do NOT need two freezers. You do not need to buy in bulk if your household has two people. Buying in bulk only saves money when you use up all the food!

She also needs to learn about budgeting, saving and investing, otherwise she's going to end up spending all her money and wondering why she's not accumulating wealth, despite her earnings. A malady a lot of posters on DCUM suffer from... like that recent thread of someone who earns 400K and is complaining they won't be able to retire early because they have two young children. Pure Princess Syndrome.

The OP should not have to revise her entire system instead of teaching her daughter how to properly cook and use food. She said she was a single mom and freezing would allow for less trips to the store and the ability to buy more things on sale. [/quote]
