Cook large portions and use your leftovers

You may save time and money by preparing large meals. Lunches or other recipes can be made with leftovers. They may be used once again in burritos, salads, stir-fries, and stews.

Once everyone has completed a home-cooked meal, box up the leftovers and place them in the refrigerator. The leftovers should be marked, and they should be placed in the refrigerator so you won't forget about them. On days when you don't have time to prepare a meal from scratch, having leftovers might save you from eating out, which is great if you're on a tight budget. The quickest and easiest lunch to bring is leftovers. All you need to do is put them in the container. Pack an extra snack or side dish if there isn't enough food for a full meal.
