It’s been almost 4 years since I started participating in The Frugal Girl’s Food Waste Friday.
(Don’t forget the hashtag! #Food WasteFriday)
While taking part I devised my own Friday routine which I called;
No Waste Tastes Great
This routine may have evolved over the last 4 years, and is currently being changed once more – which I will post about soon…
But the basics of my fridge cull and clean remains the same.
(now for an apology – I photographed this step by step with my DSLR but I’m having problems uploading the images to my PC – so it won’t be as expected!)
Step 1 – Empty the contents of my fridge onto the counter
Step 2 – Clean the fridge
(should have been an image here!)
Step 3 – Put the items back in that are still to be used
(this image isn’t right – but have used the one from Instagram)
Step 4 – use up what is possibly going to go to waste
(again not the correct image – but again had taken a different one for Instagram)
Step 5 – dispose of any food waste, or celebrate a zero-waste week!
(My waste photo was some celery and broccoli – cannot upload it!)
Will you be taking part in #FoodWasteFriday this week?
Do you have a Friday routine you’d care to share?
And please don’t forget the hashtag while out and about – that way we can all find each other!

My camera broke this week. Well I dropped it ๐ and it broke. Now for someone who takes pictures of food and for the internet this is a sad day when there is no camera. Before it happened I took the pictures here on this weeks post including my fridge. Some waste, maybe. Too early to tell. Have a great week Jo. I am off with hubby to get a new camera ๐

Late to the party again ๐ It’s been another one of those weeks! Far too many things to do for the time available. I often find the first week of term is like that, with me trying to catch up on all the jobs that didn’t get done during the break. It really didn’t help that I had booked a hair appointment for this week and our garage door broke! They both ate up lots of time! But the good news is that there was very little waste!!! The only waste was actually the tops of a few carrots. They are absolutely gross at the moment! They look fine on the outside, but are all spotty inside! And that is on the same day that I buy them! But it is nearly time for new season carrots so hopefully this will soon be a problem of the past! And hopefully I will be back to my blog again this week…it must be starting to feel a little neglected!

I have a hair appointment today – but bad planning on my part I’m thinking! Monday is never a good day to be out the house for me! Its usually my ‘decluttering’ day.
Carrots here are also not grteat at the moment, seem to be going off really quickly.
I’ll pop over to yours later. Oh and will e-mail also x
