Today was a disturbing and enlightening day. It began with the freezer in the refrigerator downstairs and ended with the kitchen pantry. I'm embarrassed to say I uncovered three pounds of ground beef, a whole turkey, three pounds of brown sugar, and two boxes of cake mix that had to be trashed. The meat and cake mix were well past their expire dates, and the brown sugar was rock solid.
From this day forward, I'm going to stop stockpiling food. I don't care how tempting the sale, it obviously doesn't save money if I end up throwing food away. Plus, without excess inventory, I'll be able to more easily see what I have. With this new commitment, I'm feeling much better.
