Did you know that about 40% of food is wasted somewhere along the supply chain? That’s like stepping out of a grocery store with five bags of food and dropping two in the parking lot. You may not think you waste that much food at home, but the little bits here and there add up.

The Save Food, Spend Less Challenge will help you notice when you are wasting food, connect you with resources to help you reduce it, and provide support and motivation along the way.

Remember that developing new habits is a gradual process. Start by browsing the actions within each category and select actions that make sense for you and your household. In this challenge, you can select up to five daily actions and five one-time actions.

    I tried to not over pour or over portion myself as that would lead to more wasting i thought giving myself smaller portion would lead to me not tossing food out more which worked

    i usually buy extra snacks or random items to make meals i never have made LOL. this made it easier for me to not buy those extras and stick to the list

    I was surprised to be tossing leftovers. I need to make recipes in only half portions.
