topic

I have got a bit off track. Should probably start a new blog for my gardening project but dont know whether i will. In these troubled times all i see and read is about the rescue bill or how bad things are, mistakes, the pain ahead etc. Sick of it. We brought it upon ourselves, dont blame the bankers, we are all part of the society that allowed or accepted financial institutions to operate us into a mess. Anyway my topic is food and waste, so..... One of the first and eiasest ways to save money people think of is the grocery bill. Already we spent a tiny percentage of our income on these essential items, well eating is essential. I am concerned that the premium priced foods, organic local, sustianable whatever are going to be the first to go, a shame after the success of movements that started to move the agricultural industry in the write direction. Keep paying a premuim for real food, try to waste less of it. I recently discovered that the average american consumer will turn half of what they buy at the supermarket into landfill. So my recommendation is to shop a little more regulary, be very careful with portion control, keep track of what is lurking in the back of the fridge and design meals around what needs to be used.
Pontentially this could save you much more than the stardard school of thought, buy store own brands. No enjoy and respect good food.
