So, I just spent the last hour going through my cabinets, fridge & freezer and bagging up stuff that fit into one of these categories:
- a.) stuff I am not eating right now & it will go bad before I can eat it, like cheese.
- b.) stuff I hope to never eat again. Have you read the ingredients on some of this stuff??? My named brand canned tomatoes had corn syrup in them!!!
- c.) food I just don’t want sitting around tempting me. Most of this fits in above categories as well, but sometimes Twizzlers & frozen pizzas sitting around are just too much for me to handle.
It came to 5 bags full of food, and honestly, it’s not all of it. Some things I kept that have a long shelf life (shouldn’t that be a sign to me?!) that I might want to occasionally indulge in later, but that is about 95% of the food in my house that I needed to get rid of.
I feel kinda bad unloading my, er, um, “not good food”, on my dear friend, Melissa, but I also know that it is still food and I shouldn’t waste it. Also, I understand that not everyone eats the same. If the reverse would have happened a week ago, and she had called me & asked if I wanted all of her food she wasn’t going to eat, I would have gladly taken it. So, Mel, enjoy! :)
Off to Whole Foods to get some more staples & to refill my fridge! :)
