Amish frugal tip (and depression era): DON'T THROW ANY FOOD AWAY!
I could do alot better in this area.
Actually our society (North Americans) could do ALOT better as a whole.
I recently read that 40% of the food produced for consumption in the US NEVER will be eaten (Sharon Palmer, "Paying the High Price of Waste")
That statistic STOPPED ME in my tracks!
So today, I surveyed our fridge and saw 3 ears of corn we just didn't work into our menu.
After deciding that it would be COMPLETELY unacceptable to allow it to go bad, I cut it off the cob, flash froze it and placed it in freezer bags.
We will be able to enjoy fresh corn in our Mexican dishes and chili!
Happy USING up ALL food!
