How will you spend this evening? Cooking a thrifty meal from the weekend's leftovers, or clearing the fridge of out-of-date, unopened food?
Let's hope it's the former, otherwise Gordon Brown isn't going to be very pleased.
As reported in many papers today, the prime minister has come up with a new idea to help households cope with the rising price of food - persuading them to stop throwing so much away.
According to a Brown-commissioned Cabinet Office report, detailed in the press just prior to the PM's arrival at the G8 summit in Japan, British households dispose of 4.1m tonnes of useable food each year.
This, according to the Times, sees the average family waste £420 every 12 months.
The Independent notes that the report also targets supermarkets, which will be urged to end "three for two" deals and similar promotions encouraging shoppers to buy more than they need.
It is often a high risk strategy for a government to - metaphorically speaking - follow voters into their homes and deliver lectures about how they live their lives.
Downing Street is, the Guardian points out, "wary of hectoring voters about what they eat" but aware that food issues will be at the top of the G8 agenda.
The Mail is clearly somewhat sniffy about the idea, saying Brown is "preoccupied with his household management tips" and mocking the idea as "prudence in the kitchen".
But can anyone seriously argue against the basic intention? I live in a two-person household and rarely go to supermarkets, but still manage, often enough, to idly forget about bags of perfectly good fruit or vegetables as they quietly rot away in a corner of the kitchen.
Maybe the mental image of a fretful Brown urging me to consider the world's poor will make me change my ways.
This is an extended extract from The Wrap, guardian.co.uk's daily round-up of the news.
