____________________ Stop throwing away money!
I hosted a dinner party on Sat urday and ended up cooking lots of different dishes. In the run up to the dinner,
I spent Thursday and Friday making several trips to the su permarkets for ingredients. Even on Saturday morning I visited the local Co-Op store because there were some es sential food items I had forgot- tentobuy. The family get-together
went well and my guests left' later in the evening fully fed. After washing up, I felt very tired and because I had over estimated the food portions, I ended up with a lot of lefto vers, which I had to store in
the fridge. On Sunday it was Mother’s
Day so I was invited round

to my mum’s for a meal and didn’t have to eat anything at home. As I returned from work on Monday evening and. I opened the fridge, 1 realised I had forgotten to separate the food in tupperware and freeze it! Much to my dismay, I ended up throwing away lots of leftovers such as lasagna,. rice, pieces of chicken, garlic bread and salad, which 1 felt had “gone off". Had 1
frozen
some of this food, it would have been perfect as a “ready- meal” for another day. I hate wasting food, espe cially when I’ve spent so much
money buying it and there are millions of people starv ing around the world or local families relying on foodbanks. Wasting food is like throw
ing money in the bin and it is harmful to the environment too. But I am not alone. Ac cording to a national news paper, a quarter of British households throw away food amounting to £437 a year just because it ends up at the back of the fridge and they forget that it’s there. It is also under stood that almost 10% of the weekly shop ends up getting thrown away - be it leftovers, half-eaten lunch packs or food that has gone past its expira tion date. People are even more in the dark about the food left in
LOOKING BACK 50 YEARS AGO
Bypass controversy
. “A SHARP CLASH of opinion has broken out in Whalley with the news that two bypasses, one to the west of the village and one to the east will remove all traffic from it’s congested streets. Tradesmen, some of whom look for part of their livelihood to this through traffic, fear that Whalley will become a ’ghost village’, while villagers with no business interest welcome the proposed bypasses as a solution to the traffic chaos which engulfs Whalley every morning, evening and weekend. This week, the

their freezers, with 12% con fessing to throwing away an item that was a year past its perishable date. My main problem is over
buying at supermarkets. I am easily enticed by two-for-one offers or other multi-buy deals at supermarkets. 1 end up buy ing double because the priceis attractive and 1 feel 1 have got a bargain, but in reality, I don’t always need that extra bag of carrots or two loaves of bread instead of one. With soaring food prices, I
think there needs to be more forward planning before go ing to the supermarkets and once food is cooked and there are leftovers, I need to store it in the freezer so that less food ends up in the bin!

was reading last week about a Texan property tycoon who had decided to part with a coin col lection he had accumu
lated with hisson over a 35- year period. You’d be right in assuming
that it might be quite a collec tion, given the length of time in question and yes, Mr A. Mack and Son acquired 650 coins; an impressive accumu lation, with auction estimates coming in at a whopping $220 million (£15001) with a single silver dollar from 1804 esti mated alone to be worth $9.8 million I The rest are described as
“prize” coins and they will go under the hammer from May 2015 to May 20i7in seven sepa rate auctions; quite a nest egg fortheMack family! The headline caught my
attention as I’ve always had a fascination with old coins, stemming from my Dad’s small collection of pre-deci- mal currency; I was captivated by the variety of shapes, sizes and different monarch’s heads on each coin. There was nothing of any
significant value and my Dad kept them out of senti ment rather than obsession. I suppose we all have our ob sessions and not many of us
would see a return of S220 million! I began to think about what
you would do with all of those coins? Keeping them in a cabi
net in the lounge may be too tempting for the local thief community; hiding them un der the floor boards would be risky too in case there was ever afire. Keeping them in a bank
vault seems the only feasible option, but treasure that has such limited enjoyment is, in my mind, a strange invest ment. Jesus taught an alternative; investing time, talent and re
sources into things that have eternal worth. In Matthew’s gospel we read “do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”. (Matt 6:19-21) Jesus was, of course, obses
sional about people like you and me and he lived his life in tent on getting us to see that through him heaven is acces sible, worthpreparing for, and it is there where we will find true treasure indeed! .
