star, you are right. no cpf for intern.

If the amt is more than $50 (?), then cpf contribution kicks in. Why no cpf contributions for the interns?

I thought as long as above $500, there will be CPF contribution?

star, you peel the potatoes in bulk then? stored them soaking in water in fridge arh? I wash fruits eg strawberries and grapes for 2 or 3 days supply …apples need to peel when needed…oranges can peel in advance.

I usually store peeled or cut items for 1-2 days. In this way, I won’t hv to clear the skin etc daily.

I have problem managing the wet trash bag. Did not buy small trash bag and so I always re-use the NTUC bags. 1 trash bag for wet trash on daily basis.

my trash bag for the sink is from ntuc...the clear ones when buying fruits/veg.
trash bag for wet rubbish has to be disposed daily.
for the rooms, it will be once a week since it's only paper.

Apples have a lot of good nutrients in the skin. The best is don’t peel off the skin.


Can cut in advance to save some time. Just soak in salt water to prevent oxidation (the flesh turning brown). Some vitamins may be lost if keep too long in cut state though.

Some said there may be pesticide on the skin and so I usually remove it.

Ladies
Am thinking how to reduce my rubbish generated and my usage of plastic bag to lin the kitchen bin.
I try to do massive peeling of skin for say potatoes, winter melon at one go.

Because I cook almost everyday, I need 1 plastic bag for wet thrash daily. The plastic bag for dry rubbish will be used for few days.

I use 1 bag for the kitchen every day also. I try to reuse bags, eg. the bags from supermarkets for bagging fruits and veg, bread bags, bags from hawker stalls, etc. So I hardly use any of the \"normal\" supermarket bags. I don't have many of those anyway as I usually bring my own reusable bags to the supermarket. Unfortunately, because I order groceries from Fairprice, I have a lot of those very large bags which I hardly use, and they are piling up. I mainly use them for wastepaper baskets, but only 1 a week.
