I've done very well using up leftovers this month. Yay me!

I've used up several shampoo and conditioner samples, concealer and BB cream samples and 4 samples of perfume. I also used up a bath gel, toothpaste and hair cream.

I used up an opened box of oat bran making pumpkin-oat bran muffins, and used up some frozen tomatoes and leftover tomato paste (also frozen) making a pot of minestrone soup.

Our only food waste this week was about a half cup of cooked spinach that got pushed to the back of the fridge.
