Reducing Waste

We were without power for about 50+ hours a couple weeks ago due to Hurricane Irene's damage.  Though we tried to keep the freezer food cool with ice, much thawed and had to be trashed.  While wiping out the freezer before restocking, I realized how many meals had been stored in the freezer that I didn't even remember.

On clutterdiet.com, one suggestion is to keep a white board next to the freezer to keep track of what goes in.  By seeing the frozen possibilities for meals, it will keep us from overbuying, cluttering up our freezers with things we forget and allow to get too old, and help us reduce wasted food and money.
