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.

October 25 at 9:02 PMI have changed my habits of deciding whether food is safe to eat by looking straight at the product. I see if there's any little dot of mold. If there is, I throw the whole thing out because one moldy ingredient has already contaminated everything in the container. I buy less at a time so I don't get to the point of mold.
