Family Balance Sheet

APRIL 27, 2011

Eating leftovers is one of my tenets of saving money in the kitchen but I am even guilty of wasting food at times. I started wondering how much money I am actually wasting when I throw food away.

Meal planning is one of the most efficient ways to keep track of all the supplies in your kitchen, as far as groceries are concerned. I’m not trying to be a crusader or anything, but I do my best to avoid wasting food, especially in light of how lucky my family and I are to have as much as we need to eat.
