    This week nothing for a change. Usually I'm really bad about stale bread and stuff, but I've been getting into the habit of only buying what I know I'll use.

    Stale bread is best for bread puddings:beer:

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    The last dregs of milk that was starting to go off and I didn't want to give it to our toddler.

    Apart from that just general leftovers and whatever our daughter didn't eat! lol!

    Blimey, do you know what....I don't think we've chucked anything out at all! This must be because we meal plan down to the last breadcrumb these days and use all the ingredients on the set day we are supposed to.

    Crikey I never realised we were so good! :A

    This is a good thread - thanks for reviving it Ali!!! :T

    I chucked a salad dressing that went off in June 2006 and an English mustard that went off in October 2006. Also, 2 slices of left over roast beef that was cooked last Sunday and forgot to freeze it :o

    Just binned some green beans & half a loaf of (reduced) bread - was out a lot more (working extra at 2nd job where they feed me) than I expected so overbought a bit on the fresh food, managed to salvage most of it though so not too bad.

    Definatly throwing away a lot less since joining these boards!
