Tip #7

Let no food go to waste

This is a pet peeve of mine; PEOPLE WHO WASTE FOOD!. To be fair we all do, myself included but here are some tips to reduce your food waste.
-leftover night. Clean out the fridge regularily before food goes bad
-Take up canning, or freeze food from your garden when it is in season
-Freeze your leftovers, buy some tupperware and freeze individual portion sizes for easy meals
-When buying perishables only buy what you can eat before it goes bad
-make soups out of leftovers
-make banana bread with black bananas
-make bread pudding with stale bread

There are tons of ways to reduce the amount of food you waste. Please comment with any strategies you use that I missed. Your co-workers may give you a strange look when you bring lasagna soup* for your lunch, but is well worth the money you'll save. Your wallet will thank you.


*lasagna soup tastes amazing and is easy to make. Simply cut leftover lasagna into small pieces with scissors and add to tomato soup.
