It drives me nuts, but I have a lot of friends who will buy a bunch of bananas, let them go brown (not rot), throw them out, and then buy more bananas. Or throw out all of my store-bought kimchi, which makes no sense.

That's 35 cents a week to pretend you care about eating healthy. You tell yourself you can't eat them today because they're too green. Then in a few days you can't eat them because there are spots. Too bad! I'll try again next week. I can see the reasoning.

Damn, this describes me too accurately haha. They're so cheap! How could I not at least try!? XD

I end up in this situation unintentionally, what I started doing is to peel and freeze them as they get overripe. Then you can use them for smoothies or banana bread some day in the future. Like in several months.
