Food Waste Photo-10.24

I actually wasted nothing this week. The photo belies that fact, however, so let me explain. This is a slice of pizza that I made exactly two weeks ago, which means that I should actually have thrown it away last week(when it would have joined my lone banana). So, I didn’t actually waste it this week….I wasted it last week. 😉

I think that my scaled-back grocery shopping for the last two weeks has helped me…not only did I buy less(so there was not as much new food to waste), I also was planning meals based on what I had in my fridge and freezer(which meant that I wasn’t wasting the food I’d already bought). My fridge is looking nearly as good as it did before I left for vacation, which is a huge change from the old filled-to-the-brim look that it’s had for so many years. I think I have a picture of that particular look, which I will try to post later, along with a picture of the new, less-cluttered look my fridge is currently sporting.
