Food Waste Wednesday (Late Edition)



I cleared out the refrigerator and only found this 1/4 of an avocado we hadn't finished. Then, when I went to make dinner last night, I took our green pepper out of the bag and discovered the stem was all white with mold fuzz. My husband told me to just cut it off and use it anyway, but then on the side there was a huge white patch. So, the waste this week was 1/4 an avocado and one green pepper.

That is actually not to bad for us, but I can't be too proud yet considering last week's waste.

This trying to avoid food waste has certainly been eye opening. If you don't keep track of it yourself, I encourage you to. You can post your results at thefrugalgirl.com on her Food Waste Friday post.

I'm glad you did better than last week. Amazing how chaos or being busy really affects the waste we make.
