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 placed all of the ground beef I got on the bottom shelf in the refrigerator. I stored extra meat I was not gonna have anytime soon in my freezer.

    I can pretty much eat anything as leftovers, but I will always enjoy eating leftover meats. I'm always willing to have leftover vegetables, which I see the most in my houses' fridge.

    Ridwell is picking up Halloween candy for its featured item in early November pickup date. Are there really that many places that actually HAVE leftover candy without a place locally to set it out like a break room or offer it to guests?
