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 16 at 10:15 AMI did find out I was storing food incorrectly. I am in the process of correcting a lot of that but I have a massive pantry, overflowing freezer, and fridge in desperate need of a deep cleaning. So, it's going to take time. But I am looking forward to the challenge.

October 16 at 10:12 AMIt definitely has helped me buy less! sometimes i shop hungry which never is helpful and by having a smaller basket it makes sure i dont buy random snacks that end up in the trash.
