To me the point is not so much the money as it is the morality of wasting food with all the hidden costs it embodies - labor, transportation, even the life of an animal. If I didn't waste food, I could make more choices for organic foods.
As Phil and I age, we are eating less, but the ex-caterer in me, still is habituated to big-batch cooking; so often there are dribbles and drabbles in my fridge that don't get eaten. This challenge is making me pretty creative in adding little bits to other things I am cooking.
Yesterday I had to throw away a small bit of ricotta cheese that was left in its container. It was SMELLY eventhough it had not passed the expiration date. I downloaded a 10-Minute Fridge Reality Check sheet to go through my fridge. You can find it here: www.StopFoodWaste.org
