One simple list can make sure that leftovers don't get thrown away!
I jot a list on a post-it of any leftovers that are on the leftover shelf in fridge.
TIP: Create a designated shelf for foods that are leftover or must be used quickly.
I just move the list from week-to-week in my planner and use it to meal plan each night.
TIP: Note the number of servings left and the number of calories, and you are all set for weight loss.

Etcetera.

OH MY GOODNESS. YES. I always put left overs in the fridge with the intention of having them for lunch the next day, as one does, and the majority of the time I forget they are even in there until dinner! So this is friggin' brilliant! So simple, yet satisfying. Now, if only I will remember come next time there is left overs xD
Jessica - I write the sticky note at the same time that I write in any ingredients that I need to refill on the grocery list. :)
I have a whiteboard calendar that I do my menu planning on, and it has a notes section on the side. That's where I make my running grocery list and leftovers list.
ha! how funny! I got the idea yesterday, I have to do something, because we usually forget the leftovers...
My solution was: a plain white A4 paper, laminated on the fridge. I wrote on with whiteboard marker the date and the meal and how much.
Why havnt I thought of this! genius! I have same issue!!
Such a simple idea. My leftovers always seem to get pushed to the back of the fridge and get forgotten! Thank you for sharing on #HomeMattersParty.
This is such a great idea...I love how organized you are! Thanks so much for sharing your tips at Share The Wealth Sunday!
