I'm joining in with Becky over at 3princesses1dude's Eat well spend less challenge.

 

We've had next to no waste this week.  I've got a massive loaf of bread, I'm going to turn into different croutons tonight, chilli, basil, garlic, mixed herb, salt & pepper and plain.  Both The Hubs and T love crutons, T will happily much on a bowl as a snack, so thought this was be a good way to use up the bread.  Other than that, there were just a few salad leaves that were past their best.  There were a few mushrooms that we're starting to dry out a bit, but I fried them up with an egg yesterday and they were fine.

 

I kept the fruit and potatoes in the fridge and they have lasted loads better than not chilling them, I'll definitely continue to do that in the future to prolong the life!

 

This post gives a bit more detail about why I call my list Meal Management and not Meal Planning.
