Honestly, focusing on guilt from tossing tofu misses the REAL point of meal prep. It's about saving time and making sure you eat right during a crazy week. Yeah, sometimes food goes bad, but that's just part of learning what actually keeps. Doubling dinner means you eat the same thing over and over, which gets OLD fast. Meal prep lets you plan different meals so you don't get bored. Losing a few bucks on waste is worth it for not STRESSING about lunch every single day.

Honestly though, has anyone talked about how the waiting used to be part of the fun? You'd hear a rumor about some rare figure showing up at a specific store, and you'd have to actually go check for yourself, maybe for weeks. That build-up made finding it mean so much more. Tbh half the memory is just talking to other people in line or the store clerk about what you were hoping to find. Online, you just click and it shows up at your door, and the whole social hunt is just gone.
