I have been reading the blog We Are That Family about the writer’s trip to Africa and all that she has seen. After having read of the poverty there, I feel especially embarrassed to share my food waste this week. We do live in the land of plenty; I should do my best not to squander it. Next week must be better.
½ package of broccoli = .75
Leftover turkey rice casserole = 2.45
1 strip leftover lasagna = 1.00½ package ham lunch meat = 1.00 (note to self—if I buy this a few days before the expiration date to save money because it is marked down, I must first make sure we will have enough time before it expires to eat it all)
This week’s waste = 5.20
Total wasted since February 1st = 12.58

Ooh, I keep meaning to track how much money I waste every week, but honestly, I don't want to think about it!! Maybe next week I'll actually do it.
