... especially in light of my recent price checking light bulb moment.
I'm reminded too of my own words in my ebook Splitting Atoms and Grating Cheese or, life's to short to faff around, published in 2019 – it's shown just above the labels, the top right-hand side of the blog.
The essence of “Splitting Atoms ...” was to inspire you to change how you plan, shop, cook and eat and as a consequence save you time, effort and dosh too.
It asked :
“How do you shop and cook now?”
“How many times each week do you visit a supermarket?”
“How much food and consequently money, do you waste each week?”
“Are you constantly asked – what's for tea?”
If your answers are along the lines of, “badly”, “more than I should”, “too much” and “yes!” then you might find what follows useful!
You've heard of a Spring Clean – this is going to be an “Autumn Clean” - of your kitchen.
First and foremost and I know it won't be popular, it's time to empty and defrost your freezer, embarking on a voyage of discovery, setting aside in a large freezer bag the items that are in date and you want to use.
Discard the spoilt and out of date items and after cleaning and bringing back up to temperature, return the items you've kept.
I've no doubt there'll be a few surprises - you remember – that deal you couldn't do without – the posh loaf of bread that now has freezer burn and scarily some you don't even remember buying, all buried at the bottom, lost and forlorn.
I realise it's a boring and tedious job but you'll thank me when you see how much space you've created.
Next up, we need to look at your other “store cupboard”!
