Did you know that the average American family of four throws out an average of $1,365 to $2,275 worth of food each year? That is crazy! I can think of a lot of things that I’d love to put an extra $1,000 towards, and I’m sure you can too!
I’m pretty sure that we don’t throw anywhere near $1,000 worth of food away in a year, but if I’m honest, I know that I could do better than what I currently am. In fact, just the other day I had to throw some money in the garbage.

Well, not actual money of course, but it might as well have been. It was money in the form of approximately 2/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, ½ cup peas, 1 cup cauliflower and 1 cup sour cream– all spoiled and all annoyingly wasted because of my negligence. Maybe you can relate?
This is common sense, but it is amazing how easy it is to not do! When shopping for perishable items, figure out how much you will use in a given week and buy accordingly.
