I know how long you're SUPPOSED to keep leftovers, but how

In the fridge <5 days, I don't have a lot of leftovers tho I'm pretty good at cooking for one.

I usually toss stuff at a week old. Some things will last a little longer. Other things like freshly made pico de gallo are only good for a few days.

Until it starts getting moldy or smelly.

depends on what it is, nogga

I throw all leftovers away. I know i wont eat them so in the trash they go.

Depends what it is, if it's mine or roomates, how lazy I am, how full the fridge is, if I need to make room, if something smells or if I need a plate that is stuck in the back of the fridge. On that note, I never ear leftovers, ever. We simply shove food in the fridge cause we are too lazy to clean up at the time. Actually very clean kitchen other than that...

I store mine for half a week before it goes into the freezer.

So how long are you supposed to keep leftovers op?

>>8103065
i keep things up to a week

I tend not to keep leftovers for more than a day or so, it just grosses me out past that point. I know in my heart of hearts that it's perfectly fucking fine but I can't help but get a built in gag reflex when I see some shit in a plastic tub that's been there a while.

I dont go by days. I use my vision and nose.

If I don't finish it in a week Im sick of it and throw it out anyways. So 7 days max.

>>8103065
If it doesn't have visible mold or smell bad I eat it

>>8103202
not OP but I'm pretty sure around 3-4 days
it probably depends on whatever the leftovers are, tho
just use common sense. don't eat moldy, bad smelling food, and i'm sure you'll be fine

>>8103065
Until I'm sick of eating it. What are you, retarded?

Depends on the food. For some, after 2 days, it heads to the freezer. For the others, after less than a week we'll find whatever animal that can eat this. Sometimes, the neighbors will ask for food so why not.

>Sometimes, the neighbors will ask for food
Who the fuck are you neighbors?
Do they just come knocking on your door asking for food?
Do you live under a highway overpass?

tfw havent had a red trolley since 2007

I haven't really had leftovers hanging around in my fridge long enough to have to think about it for a long time, but when I used to live alone it was until it looked/smelled off.

Here's a story related to this topic:
One summer I was home from university and my friend came round to pick me up to hang out at night. My dad was pretty authoritarian back then so I wasn't allowed out (even though I was probably 19 or 20 at the time) so I had to sneak out and back in. My friends and I weren't actually cool so all we did was go to White Castle, get a crave case to share and eat and chat for a bit. I got to keep the leftover burgers and so when I got home I had a crave case half full of burgers that I didn't know what to do with. I couldn't put the burgers in the fridge because my dad would know I left the house to get White Castle and I would be busted, so I shoved the case under my bed. For the next two weeks once every few days I would grab a burger from the case, sniff inspect it, and eat it and I never got sick and they never went bad.

Until it starts to go bad what the fuck else?
