In reply to Kim. I actually moved some canned items with me for years before accepting I really was never going to eat them!

I have this tendency of buying too much produce. It just looks so good at the time. Then I have produce rotting in my fridge while I’m travelling. Also, I assume that I will not eat restaurant left-overs at this point, so I’ve stopped asking them. Saves room in the fridge, but still makes me feel sad at the restaurant.

LOL…this makes me laugh and my girls would probably love to comment about their mother’s ‘hoarding’ ways. We moved to our apt above the bar 9 years ago and a year or so ago my girls decided it was time to clean the fridge and cupboards out. I received lecture after lecture about some of the dates being from a different time in life (pre 9/11). Well OK…I had been working 2 or 3 jobs prior to purchasing a bar and I don’t have a lot more time on my hands now. And really how bad can those canned items get anyway! ;’) Or the shelf life on those boxes of mac n cheese? Now they do a regular purging of the cabinets and send the food to a food bank where a hungry needy person will actually use it!

In reply to peters154. Doesn't your life change after kids - instead of partying you clean fridges! The one income stage is particularly challenging.

In reply to Diana Douglas. What is it with buying the "biggest" of everything? My husband does that too!

I’ll remember New Year’s Eve 2012 as the year I stayed up ’till 2:00am cleaning out the refrigerator!

Since we’ve transitioned to one income, I know what you mean about trying to conserve food! We make a lot of soup, eat a lot of leftovers, and freeze a lot of meat that is on sale.

Loved you post Janine:) Looks like you are enjoying the new WordPress – I think you’re doing very well! I might share a plugin – or two!
By the way – did he fix the fridge?!

My husband loves the warehouse/big box stores and proudly comes home with giant containers of whatever kind of food strikes his fancy. That made perfect sense when we were a four-generation family, but now there’s just the two of us! My refrigerator is full of science projects and he just keeps bringing home more…
