REFLECTION QUESTIONShoppingHow has buying bulk impacted the amount of food you waste?
Kathryn Jordan 10/04/2026 3:06 PMBulk buying hasn't impacted the amount of food I've wasted, because I have always used up leftover ingredients in other meals that week. However, bulk buying is more economical, reduced packaging waste, and allows me to better organize my pantry because I only need to store the amount that I need/want.
