TAKE A FRIDGE INVENTORY
April 16th 2010 12:12
Ever take a look into the far back reaches of your refrigerator?
You know, the back corners of the shelves and pull out drawers
where left over food, half empty condiments, sauces and other
forgotten items get pushed back to?
All those once edible items cost good money weeks or perhaps,
months ago. Before last week's pasta sauce starts sprouting
mold or all those countless salad dressing plastic bottles expire,
take a weekly inventory of everything in the fridge.
Use up what you can before it has to be dumped. Not only are
we tossing money away by not using up left overs but we're also
paying to keep them cold while they slowly become a biological
lab experiment.
And let's not forget the freezer compartment. Take a look in the
frozen wasteland today. How many self wrapped items are
not identifiable from the outside?
If you can't remember what it was you stuffed into the freezer weeks
ago, pull it out to defrost and try to use it up.
A weekly refrigerator and freezer inventory can also help you make
a frugal grocery shopping list as well.
