How to save some money by keeping your kitchen clean

A friend of mine forwarded me this link about saving money by keeping things tidy in the kitchen.

How a Clean Kitchen Saves Your Family Money

It has some great reasons to:

• Clean up dirty dishes promptly
• Keep your countertops clutter-free (of dirty dishes and other stuff)
• Keep on top of what's in your refrigerator

They offer some smart solutions to getting these things done, all the time. I can personally attest to the problem of eating through stuff in the fridge, instead having it end up in the garbage. What a waste! One thing I would add to their list of solutions: learn to turn leftovers into something new. There are lots of posts here on the blog about taking leftovers and making a delicious meal out of them. Check out:

• Tomato and Feta Quiche
• Roasted Veggie Frittata
• Coconut-Ginger Rice
• How to Deal with a Variety of Leftoevers

Tips to make cooking more pleasurable and less stress-free AND save some money? Sounds great to me!
