Trying to plan for the week and shop for it on one day is the cause of most of our food waste, because we inevitably change plans (voluntarily or involuntarily).
We are actually trying to be better about going to the store more frequently and buying less in advance. We are also trying to actually use things we stockpile in the pantry, since we also have a problem with stocking canned and dry goods we forget about.
- 18pfsmt 7y agoI buy mostly fresh food, so I go the store every other morning at 6am. They are still stocking shelves (a job I had in college), but there are no crowds. I live 2 blocks away from the store, so small takes are easier to carry home. The only canned stuff I buy are beans and olives.
