food waste friday - about $3 wasted this week

In an conscious attempt to keep food waste to a minimum, I join The Frugal Girl and many other bloggers each week and participate in Food Waste Friday. I clean out my refrigerator, line up any waste on the counter and (usually) take a picture and post it on my blog. I look forward to the day where I have no food waste!

I didn't take a picture of my wastes, but here they are listed!  This week I tossed:

1/2 a head of lettuce = $1.25
2 halves on onions = $1.00
1/2 a bunch of green onions = $.60

I didn't have quite as much wastes this week because my husband is out of town, and I haven't been cooking as much.  So...just under $3 wasted for the week.  Getting better!

And now I'm signing off to go enjoy my "Fun Friday".  I've got some crafting projects that I want to finish up today.  I'm making a chalk board for my craft room and a moss covered letter to hang on my front door.  I'll post pictures once they're complete!

Happy Friday everyone!

Our total waste was about $3.45 this week. It doesn't seem like a lot, but I wish I were adding to our vacation fund versus putting it in the compost or trash.

Good job this week on reducing your waste! I'm hoping for a no waste week next week!

No way! I saw that moss covered letter idea the other day too and am making it this weekend. Hee...hee...I think that I'll add a few blingly looking beads too.
