Food Waste Friday / Let Them Eat Cake

It’s Friday Guys – My turn once more to host Food Waste Friday!

Each week since March 2008, in order to motivate her to waste less food, Kristen The Frugal Girl, has posted a picture of any food that has gone bad over the last seven days. She found this embarrassing practice so helpful, to her, that she invited other bloggers to post their own photos, and Food Waste Friday was born.
I started participating in October 2010 and have found, that 2-years on, the amount of food I waste is minimal. In fact every Friday, as part of my No Waste Tastes Great routine, I account (and devise a plan) for all my potential food waste as well as confessing to any items that I failed to save.
Kristen has kindly asked me to host Food Waste Friday, alternate weeks (when she doesn’t post herself), and her initial invite for everyone to join in is cordially extended here!

Not what you were expecting?

It’s packed out in preparation of a self-catering short-break we’re taking.

The cull and clean took place yesterday.

My food waste-confession  this week, is this rather limp looking salad.

Pre-bagged salad always looks a little worse for wear the day after.

It’s been a rather successful week, on saving other potential food-waste. Birthdays this week have meant a deviation in the usual meal-planning and the production of not 1 but 2 birthday cakes.

The remnants of Marque 2 are being given away to any unsuspecting person who knocks on the door. And the rest will accompany us on our travels.

As always I’ll leave the last word to Kristen…
“How did you do this week? If you blogged about your food waste, link us up by entering your info into the widget below. You’ll save money, reduce your trash output, and get a little publicity for your blog! And if you don’t blog, you can still share about your food waste by leaving a comment.

**I’ve decided not to include the LINKY for the foreseeable. My blog doesn’t allow links on the actual post, and being redirected to another page isn’t ideal. Please drop your link in the comments section.** Jo
