	Clean Out Your Refrigerator Month
	November

Just in time for all that leftover food at Thanksgiving! When we think of cleaning out, we focus on closets, drawers, and garages -- and often overlook the REFRIGERATOR. How many unrecognizable items do you have living in your fridge? I know, it's frugal to save leftovers. But only if you actually USE them -- otherwise, they are nothing but food clutter (and a potential health hazard!) Do something that might save your life this month and give it the old "once over." And be sure to check those condiments carefully -- I know mustard has a lot of preservatives in it, but it's not indestructible!
