Trying to be Frugal?

Have you ever cut off mold from food to try and economize and not waste all of the food items? Reading an article on the subject just now I find that the mold may have spores falling on other parts of food, you just can't be sure. So it is best to just throw the entire item away. (I have eaten the rest of a loaf of bread after seeing a little mold on a slice) It is best to eat the perishable foods first. Such items as cheese, bread, fruit, vegetables, and such. You can also get food poisoning or have an allergic reaction. This can manifest itself in symptoms like breaking into hives, uncontrollable itchiness, compulsive sneezing, or even difficulty breathing. Yeah, best to just throw the food out and not take any chances. Have you eaten cheese after cutting off the moldy part? I have. I don't eat many white cheeses that seem to mold easily anyway. This was kind of a wake-up call for me. Hadn't really taken it seriously before reading this.
