Do You Have Food Clutter and Waste?

by Janet on September 7, 2010

Does your family have a lot of food waste/clutter? You know, the unused portions of veggies, rice or pasta from last night’s dinner that no one wants to eat? Those little bits of bread or rolls left in the bag or the uneaten popcorn? Or the two for one special that you couldn’t pass up? It seems that no matter how much we try to save money, it’s easy to buy too much food for our family and create unnecessary waste. It’s really a shame that so many people throw out perfectly good food, and that they buy more than they use. A recent poll announced that …

“Americans throw out at least 30% of consumable food.”

That’s akin to throwing one meal into the garbage disposal a day! Wow, that is too much, especially when so much of the world’s population goes without the luxuries that we, as Americans, take for granted every day.

“And consider this: the rotting food that ends up in landfills produces methane, a major source of greenhouse gases.” says the NY Times.

To help reduce some of this food waste, here’s a great resource I learned about from fellow Professional Organizer Lorrie Marrero of the Clutter Diet. The LOVEFOODHATEWASTE.com website, based out of the UK, asks you to type in leftover ingredients that you have and it returns a recipe to use up these ingredients, instead of throwing them away! What a wonderful idea to reduce waste and create new healthy meals for your family. Here’s the link if you’d like to check it out yourself: http://www.lovefoodhatewaste.com.

Another way to reduce impulse food purchases is to always make a list before going to the grocery store. Just like when making merchandise purchases, each food purchase you make should have a specific purpose for buying it. Here’s a handy grocery list pad that you can affix to your frig. and ask family members to circle items as they are depleted – All Out Of pad. Then take that list to the grocery. No need to write out a grocery list each time.

Read more about the food waste issue in a NY Times article: One Country’s Table Scraps, Another Country’s Meal

Frugal Living Tips for Busy Families

by Janet on September 6, 2010

We all experience temptations to spend more than we should.  But you don’t have to go without to stay within your budget.  Here are some easy tips that will help cut down your expenses and to help you stay within your budget.

Make It Yourself. Most things are cheaper if you make it yourself rather than buying.  You can make anything from food to cleaning products to face wash.  Just do a quick Google search to find tons of DIY home recipes.

Clip Coupons. Not only can you find coupons in newspapers and magazines, now you can find them online on coupon sites and even from the manufacturer.   The best part is that you usually don’t have to sift through hundreds of coupons to find the one’s you’re looking for.  If you look hard enough, you can also find all kinds of freebies to try too.

Do Entertainment on a Budget. If you like reading and watching movies, you can get a library card and check them out for free instead of buying them or going out to a theater.  If you want better options, you can try used book stores (and sell the books back) or use Redbox for your movies (just remember to return them quickly).

Pay Bills Online. This will not only save you money one stamps and checks, but it will also help you pay your bills on time to avoid needless late fees.

Always Make a List. When you go shopping make a list of what you need and don’t deviate.  This will keep you buying only what you need.  And if you do forget things, don’t pick them at a convenience store, you’ll end up paying a much higher price tag. This grocery list has a magnet on the back for affixing to your refrigerator. Have everyone in the family add items to the list as they are depleted.

Use Store Brands. What’s the difference between these and the top brands? – Fancy packaging and expensive marketing campaigns in most cases.  Store brands are usually similar products, if not EXACTLY the same.  Save yourself some money by looking around instead of grabbing the products you know.

Don’t Let Food Go Bad. Most people throw away hundreds of dollars worth of food every year because they let it rot.  A recent poll announced that Americans throw out at least 30% of consumable food. Instead of eating a frozen or canned food that will keep, first eat the food that will spoil soon.

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. It’s not only good for the environment; it can also save you money.  Look around your house for things you can use rather than throw away, ways you can cut back on your energy bills, and things you can get paid to recycle.  Everything from turning down the thermostat to planning your errands ahead so you use less gas.  It may only be a little bit of money, but it all adds up to big savings.

Use Less. Products like cleaners, hair products, toothpaste, soap, and anything that you can dispense too much of are easy to overuse.  Experiment with how much you really need to use for it to work.  When things last longer, you save money.

Do It Yourself. If you’d normally pay someone else to do something for you, look into doing it yourself.  Doing small things on your own, like changing the oil in your car, can save you money over time.

Make Saving a Game. Every time you see go to the grocery store or open your bills, make saving a game.  See how much you can save each time and work to save more and more.  This makes it a fun competition and keeps you saving.
