We wasted two items this week. The first was a container of soup from our disaster Olive Garden like meal (that was nothing like Olive Garden's soup.) In addition to the bowls of soup we ate for the original dinner, we had three containers this size leftover. Considering none of us liked it much and that we still tried to eat it once a day to use up the leftovers, I don't feel that bad about this waste.
The other little container of soup is tomato, which we all like, but it got pushed to the back on the bottom shelf where it was undiscovered for a few weeks.
Estimated cost for this week's waste: 2.50
Estimated cost for this week's waste: 2.50
Total waste since February 1st: 15.08.

I like the way you keep up with the estimated cost of your food waste. Good strategy.
Don't you hate when that happens? I've been trying lots of new recipes lately and many of them have NOT turned out well. I'm not willing to stop trying new recipes, but it's really frustrating when they don't work out!
This week I finally started tracking the cost of my food waste. Thanks to a big jug of rancid olive oil, we ended up wasting $26 and change. If that's not a kick in the butt, I don't know what it is.
Cate, I agree with you. Tracking the food cost in addition to taking a picture makes it even more "real" how much is being wasted.
