This is a great thread Charlee. Sorry I missed it when you first posted it. We freeze food we aren't using so we don't waste it. What needs to be thrown away, we give to our chickens or the dogs. Chickens will eat almost anything including watermelon rinds right down to the thin outer layer (it's funny). When we have a bull slaughtered DH cuts it himself and I vacuum seal it. We give the heart, liver and other parts to our friends who enjoy those cuts... lol. I am trying to cook for 4 even though there are only two of us and throw the last half into the freezer. With busy lives it is so nice to just thaw something out and quickly heat it up. I am going to try the soap recipe. I am just now turning to vinegar and water for cleaning most things since I have discovered how wonderfully it works without all the other chemicals.
