Every Friday, I join with The Frugal Girl and other bloggers to clean out my fridge and freezer and take a picture of anything that has gone bad over the last week. This holds me accountable to faithfully check every week, and motivates me to use up our leftovers. This has made a huge difference in the amount of food we waste every week. I encourage you to participate with me in food waste Friday, too!
I have no picture this week!!
Last week was quite terrible in terms of our food waste, so its always nice to get things under control again. We do have one or two things that need to be used this weekend, or else I'll be saving them for a picture next Friday.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Oooh, I know just what you mean about waste, it creeps up on you! When I plan my menus, I figure out what I will do with the leftovers too. Or maybe I mean that I try to make some cooking do for more than one meal. Like leftover rice from Strogonoff last night gets used tonight with refried beans and fajitas. Dibs and dabs of vegetables are frozen in little bags to use in soup. Also I only store things in glass, no plastic. I can't explain why this helps, maybe only because I can see it better!
