This is a subject that my husband and I are just starting to tackle. So far the main thing I am doing is when I open a jar or packet of something that says "eat within x days of opening" I take a sticky label, write the "use by" date on it and stick it on the packet.

I think I'm going to have to start checking the contents of the fridge on a regular basis, as we keep forgetting things, expecially if my husband has bought them so they're not really on my radar. He's alway forgetting what he's bought, and as he's disabled he never gets to see inside the fridge.
