    I admit, since I experienced a life changing event and am only buying for one, I go between ordering from Amazon and Aldi's. I had never ordered food from Amazon before and I have not been disappointed. I find when I am at the store, I tend to see tasty treats and I am too tempted. My grandkids miss that, but now we have healthier snacks. I have also learned to purchase in smaller portions.

    Day 2 doesn't have much to report back on, continuing to use the food scrapes decompose system.

    How easy has it been for you to plan your garden or CSA produce into your meals? Do you ever let your seasonal food go to waste?

    Pinterest is a big help in finding recipes for foods you don't normally use. It takes a little time and I don't always make it work but I compost all my organics so it goes back into my garden. Plus, this program gave me the idea to make my own veggie broth. Some of the stuff I compost could be used for this purpose.

    What meal plan method works for you and why? Have you tried some in the past that didn't work?

    How has your awareness of the food you waste changed since you started separating it from other trash? Did anything surprise you?

    I chose to eat the skins of fruits and veggies that could be eaten. This would save space and be more of a healthier option.

    I give grain based items to my chickens and meat based items to my dogs.

    Hello! Saving food & spending less has always been very important to me & my family. I was taught to be frugal to appreciate value of food, money & avoiding waste.
