I pretty much forbid leftovers at my house beyond the 2nd day and will not allow any kind of cooked poultry, beans, or soup to be frozen "for later".

If it didn't taste good enough for us to finish the next day, it ain't gonna taste any better weeks or months later when it is thawed out.
Chili never has to be. It's always all gone the 2nd day. I clean the refrigerator out more frequently than once/week and toss out anything older than 'yesterday'.

Lol! Y’all are more than welcome! You can help with upkeep around the farm to earn your room and board! ;)

Greybeard: I make enough to freeze intentionally. It makes for easy meals later for either thaw and reheat or for DH to throw in the oven on days that I work. Saves us from eating out!

Yeah, I also cook extra on purpose; since being single it is a pain to come home to an empty house and try to figure out what to cook or not feel like it and then wind out getting something on my way home. At least if it is in the freezer, I can take it out in the daytime and it is thawed when I get home from testing....I get tired of bought food, but my hours are tough some weeks. Am looking forward to less farms to test so I can be home more.
Taking 12 "broilers" to get killed tomorrow and will get them when I get home from work, or on Sat when I get home from another farm. Will take my big cooler and get some bags of ice so they can stick them in there and I will vacuum pack to freeze. Unless he vacuum packs, then I will just pay him to do it since I have several farms that want to test. Since I only did a total of 9 all of Sept, I am sure not going to tell anyone no right now. I am looking for a few more to sell out as a few are just tired of it.
