The Kitchn offers tips on how to not waste food

It's hard not to waste food occasionally. You make a pot of chili and the leftovers get shoved to the back of the fridge, only to be discovered when they've grown a fuzzy green coat of putrid fur. Or you spend good money on some fancy mini-cucumbers, just to forget them in the bottom of your crisper drawer.

Wasted food happens, but you can take steps to minimize what gets thrown out. The Kitchn is currently hosting a Kitchn Cure, in which they are helping people get their kitchens clean and ready for Spring. They've posted a list of Tricks and Tips on how to avoid wasting food. One useful suggestion they offer is to keep a small whiteboard on your fridge to write down the fresh produce and leftovers you've got stashed away in there, so that you won't forget what you've got to nosh on.
