Hey there, foodies! Are you tired of throwing away food that’s gone bad and that could have been eaten? Not only is it a waste of money, but it’s also not great for the environment due to food waste.
Luckily, there are plenty of easy ways to prevent the wastage of food and save money. Here are ten trash-tastic tips to help you reduce food waste in your home:
Plan Ahead
Before you hit the grocery store, make a meal plan for the week. This will help you avoid buying food you don’t need and prevent it from going to waste. And don’t forget to recycle your grocery bags in your Rack Sack!
Freeze, don’t toss
Got some leftover meals? Instead of letting them go bad, freeze them for an easy meal later on. And don’t forget to label and date them so you don’t forget what’s in there!
Get creative with leftovers
Don’t feel like eating the same thing for lunch the next day? Get creative and repurpose your leftovers into a new dish. For example, leftover chicken can become a chicken salad sandwich, or veggies can be turned into a stir-fry.
Store your food correctly
Make sure to store your food in the right place to keep it fresh for longer. Our Rack Sack system makes it easy to store and organize your food waste, too!
Check expiration dates
Make a habit of checking expiration dates on food items. If something is about to go bad, make sure to use it up or freeze it.
Shop smarter for less food waste
Buy only what you need and don’t be tempted by bulk deals that may cause you to overbuy.
Share with others
If you have excess food that you know you won’t be able to eat, consider sharing it with family, friends, or even your local food bank.
Use your freezer
Did you know you can freeze more than just leftovers? You can freeze herbs, bread, and even dairy products like milk and cheese!
Store potatoes and onions away from each other
Even though it might seem practical to keep potatoes and onions together due to their preference for cool and dark environments, combining them will result in faster sprouting. We recommend to store potatoes in the pantry and onions separately.
