Putting the leftovers in Tupperware and storing them in the fridge for a week or two makes you feel slightly less guilty when you eventually throw them away.

My roommate saves leftovers even though he ends up eating them maybe 10% of the time. Doesn’t even matter if it’s a generous portion of something that reheats well. Rarely eats it.

The guilt reduction thing is real for some people

As one of my uncles said, "You have to refrigerate leftovers before you throw them away."

My wife and I have gotten pretty good at knowing which leftovers we will actually eat, and which ones we won't. The latter get tossed right away, and we've never missed them later.
