I totally think this is a good idea. I've cut right back on our shopping and throw away nothing now. I used to throw away quite a bit. Sashta you are right on with the expiration date thing. Over in the UK, there is a huge difference between "display until" and "best before" dates. I'm sensible, wouldn't eat out of date eggs/meat. Half the time though people over here have no idea when it comes to meat, especially in supermarkets. I'd bypass a bit of bright red steak for a dark piece anytime. Much tenderer and much better eating, because it's older.
And as for cheese? Go over to France and tell them you don't eat "mouldy cheese". They'd laugh in your face. Cheese IS mould. Stilton anyone?
