You can help everything in your fridge last a little bit longer if you keep your fridge on the colder end of what is norm.

And if you keep the things that go bad in the coldest spots.

So that goes for dairy as well.

Welcome to didn't I just feed you.

A podcast about feeding kids.

Hi, I'm Stacey.

And I'm Megan.

Do you ever feel like you're throwing money away every week when you clear out the fridge?

Soggy lettuce?

Slimy cucumbers.

Those leftovers that are starting to stink?

This episode is for you. Oh, Megan, you made an episode for me. I'm so excited. Go ahead. Tell me. No, I'm kidding. Okay. Actually, you guys, this episode is for anyone who just wants to make the most of their food budget by not wasting food. Because waste is money.

I know it's like hard to think about it that way. It's really easy to get caught up and just

thinking about what you're spending at the cash register. But everything you throw away is something

that you end up having to replace. So we've talked about this a little bit before and didn't I just

feed you. But today's single is just a little bit before and didn't I just feed you. But today's

thing is just a little bit different. Instead of giving you advice that just puts more work up front,

we also want to talk about how you can either preserve, freeze, or use up some of the most

commonly wasted foods. Oh, that's a good place to start. Wait, what is your most commonly wasted foods, Dacie? Oh, mine personally? Yeah. Or our, what did our research? No, no, no. We'll get to the research. Yours. What are you, what's your, your trash of shame? Okay, my trash of shame. I'm so into this. I love this game. Oh, this is like a question we should ask everybody. Like, we should ask people when we interview them. Yeah. The trash of shame. Okay. Baby's finished. Hands down. Number one. Number one. Remember once when you talked about how you would like pick through it. Yes. Like clamshell of lettuce. You're like, I will pick through. Yeah. And it creeps the boys out. Yeah. My kids catch me doing it. Yeah. My kids get to be doing it. They won't eat whatever it is.

They're like, I will pick through. Yeah. And it creeps the boys out. Yeah. My kids catch me doing it. Yeah. My kids get to be doing it. They won't eat whatever it is. Wait. I feel like I need to defend myself for a moment. I don't think you do. But go ahead. When I do it, when I do it, it's usually for like smoothies or something we're like, it's getting blended up and like, why not just use what's there?

That's all I have to say about it.

Celery, which is weird because I love celery.
