Must say I am very impressed with so many peoples food gathering efforts. As for food wastage we try to keep it to a minimum by eating leftovers for lunch, trying not to buy more than we can eat etc. Try to stay on top of what we have and incorporate it into meals. Today we were trying to think of something to have for dinner and decided on ham quiche partly because we had all the ingredients. Will be stocking up on more groceries on Sunday. We are not perfect but try to keep waste to a minimum.

Inquiring Minds Want to Know!!!
What are you doing to prevent food spoilage???? Are swapping food for other food via facebook groups or amongst family and friends?, trading extras from garden or selling excess stock, participating or doing large amounts of baking at 1 time for present and future use, freezer/batch cooking etc (like @thriftygranny does with her daughters) or participating in a cookie/dessert exchange? thanks
Buying less produce now ( mainly fruit ) I have enough back yard green beans blanched and in the freezer, along with asparagus spears when they had an amazing sale, and cooked whole beets. ( I'm trying to make those the dinner side veggies before I buy other stuff now )
Ten pound Bags of Spuds and carrots have been amazingly cheap, and my cold room is actually cold enough to store them in.
No more tubs of ice cream for now, the CO51 offers and sales were making it a bad habit and then the fruit just sits there!
We still cook in large batches, ( stew, soup, chili, casseroles, nothing gets wasted in that department as the guys pack " meals " for lunches, not sandwiches )

DH also does a good job of preventing waste. We had some leftover rice in the fridge so he whipped a veggie fried rice for dinner on Thursday. I am assuming it was good since he and the oldest devoured it. Last night we did an awesome job at eating from the freezer. Bag of tortellini that’s been in there far too long with an open jar of sauce that I threw in when I knew we could not use it and some experimental goats cheese. I wanted to see if it would freeze as I often use that for a rose sauce. Worked great. Along with some frozen Texas toast that I made into bruschetta. Feels good to get that much out at once. Today I am puling the turkey carcass out to make broth. I may make the soup as well. Other than that a lazy day (finders crossed). May hit up Shoppers, it has been a long time since I was in and it’s a 20x day today.
Friends don't let real friends pay full price.

Good day, everyone!
We are really very careful about food spoilage and waste, and rarely have to chuck anything out.
I keep a close watch as to what's in the fridge, especially with veggies and end up using bits and pieces in soups or casseroles.
Or if I buy excess veggies at a good price, I will cook them up a bit and freeze them - celery, onions, mushrooms, cabbage, for example - then they are ready to go right into a recipe.

It's a quiet day on here.
Well I experimented cooking pumpkin today. I peeled and cubed 1/2 a pumpkin. In 2 separate 9x13 dishes and into the oven. 1 I seasoned and it was good but not something I could see myself eating often, the guys tried 1 piece and said nope....doesn't surprise me as they are not veggie eaters. The other dish was plain nothing on it as I wanted to see if I could bake something with it. I haven't done the baking as I was tired after all that peeling etc. I also served the steak supper with a combination of yellow & green beans from the inlaws garden which I froze.
So in the next few days I will bake something with the pumpkin and see how that works out. Dh grew 10 large pumpkins so it would be nice to be able to eat them in some shape or form.
Oh and the best part of the pumpkin was the seeds (haha).
Wishing everyone a great evening.2019 is the year that we continue to save before we buy!!!

Dh is gone for the weekend for training.
I managed to have a shower this morning while all 3 children were awake. Washed up the collection of dirty dishes in the kitchen. Washed a load of laundry, but still have plenty that needs to be folded and put away. I'd asked some friends over for company and they offered to bring supper over with them. Big brother and I managed to bake 3 dozen carrot muffins. I'm going to freeze 1/2 of them.Help me out with Swagbucks and we can both earn gift cards and PayPal money
