Are you still struggling with food going out of date in your
fridge? Do you buy food on the way home just in case & find you already had
more than enough already?
Here is a way of keeping control of your perishable foods
with your phone.
There are now a number of apps that will track what is in
your fridge and give you a count down of what needs using up first. They do
vary in quality & some are quite pricey for apps, but compared to what they

So now you will know what is in your fridge , about to go
past eating, so what do you do with it?
Here is a useful website that takes your list of ingredients

ingredient and the website will ask you what else you have available and what
your options are. So, just check this out on the commute home, pick up any last
minute ingredients and you are all set for a delicious home cooked meal when
you get back.
And
if all your good intentions go by the wayside and you are still faced with a fridge
load of out of date food check out Still Tasty which
lets you know what is still safe to eat or freeze, and what needs to be binned.
So, no more excuses for turning your fridge into a gruesome science experiment.
