We finish this month off with the realization that although we tried hard, we are wasters. We cooked some of the things we had in the cabinets but some of it was gross... so while we pushed through some of it, I'm ashamed to say we did throw a few things away. We had many things in the fridge that were WAY expired - such as sauces.
I am proud of our recycling. And also shaking my head of the ridiculous amounts of things we threw away before having those handy green boxes.
We only washed clothes twice, but didn't see a big difference in our water bill because I let the kids play on the slip-n-slide one afternoon. While doing it I knew it was waste, but I had told them they could go to the pool and it didn't work out. What's a girl to do??
We did succeed to empty our cabinets (to prepare for the next month - FOOD), wash dishes less, use rags instead of wipes, and stayed mostly away from ordering chick fil a cookies.
[Yes, the below cabinets are us emptying them... for those of you that know us, know that we buy in bulk when its on sale.we still could probably eat/snack for another couple of days just on that stuff. ]
And learned a lot in the process.
