Hi Reader

Last week, I sent you a copy of my FREE inventory sheets for managing Food Waste. If you missed it, you can download it here

Essential Food Waste Money Saving Tool Kit.pdf

Have you started filling out your sheets yet? I like to start with the fridge as it’s the easiest as well as being the place most food waste happens.

Finding things in my refrigerator that have gone off always fills me with guilt, but keeping an inventory list really helps. No more surprises finding stuff in there I’d forgotten about. I also use this other simple trick. Label one of your shelves the ‘Eat It Up Shelf’. Having all your leftovers in one place makes it easy.

Do let me know how you're getting on or what food you struggle the most with.
