I absolutely despise food waste. Not only is it bad for the environment, but it’s like throwing money away. We use a Mill to process our food waste into chicken feed, so it’s not *as* bad, but I still hate it.
This week, I looked at the refrigerator and tried to delay grocery shopping at least for a few days to force me to use what I had in the refrigerator.
We definitely needed to focus on finishing the cottage cheese since its Best Buy date was later in the week. (Spoiler: we finished it all up.) We also need to finish up the watermelon and knock out the leftovers.
We have an opened container of guacamole that is probably going bad, as well as the unfinished feta dip. Someone whom I won’t name ate all of the crackers, otherwise that feta dip would be gone.
The bag of apples was definitely still fine, so I needed to focus on the one small apple remaining, the bell peppers, and the limes. I plan to put the small apple in Mr. FF’s lunch and use the limes and peppers to make pad Thai.
I didn’t buy any more salad stuff since there was plenty still left. I put salads in Mr. FF’s lunch almost every day, so finishing that up won’t be a problem. I do need to focus on the celery and sweet potato.
The grapes killed me. They went into the Mill. I probably could have salvaged some of them, but I get the ick when fruit is moldy like this.
How do you avoid food waste? Any tips or tricks?
