Recommendations
Small habits that cut your waste fastest
Most waste comes from "spoiled" ($6.48)
⏰
Move soon-to-expire food to eye level
Most of your loss is food going off before it's used. Keep a 'use first' bin at the front of the fridge and check it before every meal.
🍌
Freeze produce before it's lost
Peel and freeze bananas for smoothies, blanch a zucchini glut, and bag berries on a tray. A few minutes now saves a few dollars later.
🥫
Preserve the gluts
When you have more than you can eat — zucchini, tomatoes, herbs — send it to the preservation queue to can, pickle, or dry it.
