There's no doubt about it. Making use of leftovers saves time and money.

A good idea is to place your fresh groceries behind the leftovers, so that your eye catches the leftover foods and you eat them first. This will ensure that these foods don't go bad before you get to them.

For more useful tips on how to deal with leftovers, we delved into The Staying Healthy Shopper's Guide by Elson M. Haas:

• When storing leftovers, divide foods into shallow containers for rapid cooling.
• Slice foods such as egg dishes into serving-size portions so the food will be thoroughly chilled.
• Use cooked leftovers within four days. If you want to be super organised, you can keep labels and a pen in the kitchen and date leftovers.
