Wasted

½ container or rice from Thai, $1, Compost
¼ large tomato from Locky’s Dad’s garden, $0.50, Compost
Milk 1 litre, $1, Sink
Jam sandwich, $1, Compost
Biscuits, $0.20, Compost
Rice crackers, $1, Compost
Brown rice cooked, $1, Compost
Sweet potatoes x 2, $3, Compost
Butternut Pumpkin, $4, Compost

Hhmm… total of approximately $12.70 in value wasted, maybe about 5% of my weekly spend. Not as bad as I thought it would be but I was trying pretty hard – especially eating everyone’s leftovers!

How did you go over the past week?

  1. LOL @ eating everyone leftovers.

    we waste a fair bit i'm sure...

    we haven't had a fridge since we got back home (a week) so i haven't bought any fresh food. so haven;t wasted anything this week, haha. although i am desperate to buy stuff again (and get milk, etc).

    i think i will try to be more thoughtful and plan ahead what we are actually going to eat. i'm inspired from this post to stop wasting stuff...
