Eat What you Buy
Use up leftovers and the ingredients you have before buying more. You'll waste less, save more and may even find a new favorite dish.
Tips to eat what you buy
- Move food that's likely to spoil soon to the front of the shelf or a designated "eat this first" area each week.
- Learn the difference between "sell-by", "use-by" and expiration dates. You can rely on your own sight and smell over food dates in most cases.
- Make casseroles, frittatas, soups and smoothies from leftovers and extra ingredients.
- Create a list each week of foods that may spoil soon and plan upcoming meals around them.
