We use up leftovers in "Fend for Yourself" nights, where everyone has to fix their own meal from leftovers. Of course, if I haven't been cooking at home much, or the leftovers are gone, it becomes canned soup night for the kids!
The additional benefit of "Fend for Yourself" is that your kids learn to reheat in the microwave (if old enough).
We skip grocery shopping some weeks, but not on a regular planned schedule. Usually when the weekend is too hectic to squeeze it in! We do still pick up milk those weeks!
