My name is Tara. And I am a food waster. There. It’s out in the open. I pinch my pennies and clip my coupons, but then I forgot about the food I’ve worked so hard to obtain for so little. Until they end up like this:
Sad moldy grapes. Leftover spaghetti. Thawed salsa chicken that got vetoed for dinner. Lotsa black beans. Slimey pineapple. Stinky green beans. Mystery red sauce.
And the one that kills me ….
a leftover honey lime chicken enchilada
Seriously! How did that happen? We love those. I’m craving it right now. But, alas, that is why I need to
KEEP MOVING FORWARD!
I’ve admitted my waste and now I am committed to change. I love that Kristen, The Frugal Girl, does Food Waste Friday to keep herself accountable. Who wants to show the nastiness of their fridge? Not me! So I’ll be linking up every week and hopefully won’t have as much to share next week!

I had a whole trash can full of stuff when I first cleaned my fridge for Food Waste Friday. When you start to pay attention, it gets easier. Good luck and hope to see you next week.

I hate wasting food. One things that helps me is I never cook dinner on Saturday. It is a strictly fend for yourself eat up all the leftovers day. It helps a lot.
