Finally stuck to a 2 week grocery budget and my leftovers actually got eaten this time

I set a $60 limit for two weeks and planned every meal around what was in my pantry first. Ended up cooking 4 meals from random cans and frozen veggies I'd been ignoring. The surprise was that I threw away way less food than usual. It felt good not wasting stuff but also made me wonder if I'm just bad at estimating portions normally. Has anyone else found a simple rule that actually cut down their food waste?

Did you end up eating the same meal for days straight or freeze portions to mix it up?

Heard a meal prep guy say variety keeps you from ordering takeout on day four.
