2010-08-18 Simple Ways To Reduce Food Waste - Saving Advice

If you are cooking for a family of four and only two of the four actually enjoy a particular food, dont buy that particular food and assume that all four will eat it. Whether the food is spinach or steak, you cannot hope to change food preferences just by putting the food on the table. Trying to do so will only result in waste.

First, unless I intend to do some canning or freezing, I buy only enough produce to last me a few days. For healthy reasons, I try to buy whats local or in season, which also helps reduce costs most of the time. Although I tend to look for what meat/poultry/fish is on sale, I no longer buy more than Id use in about 8 meals. (When I was buying in bigger bulk, I actually ended up throwing out meat/poultry/fish. )
