Sometimes I’ll go over to my grandmas to help her with grocery shopping and taking her groceries inside.

But, it’s like she is just hoarding all this food. She only eats the same meal once like she’ll make large servings of food but she won’t eat it again later she truly refuses to eat leftovers so that results in a ton of food waste(except when I come over and take it) but she also have like five big shelf’s just full of food(which some of it had gone bad years ago) and her fridge is always stocked and she has a huge freezer of meat.

Now I can understand wanting to be prepared and being able to make anything at the drop of a hat. But, she doesn’t even seem to finish anything she has before deciding to go on another shopping trip which takes up even more space.

But I wasn’t brought up this way, we didn’t really have food stability when I was younger but we were taught to essentially finish what we can and get creative before going to the grocery store.

However, my grandpa was the same way as my grandma he had a huge cupboard just full of food that never got eaten before he passed. So, I guess I’m just curious if that’s a mentality from the past that has just continued carrying on? Because no one else I know really does that.
