Easy Ways to Cut Down on Food Waste

Save money and cut waste with six simple food habits

Reducing organic waste can save you money and help you get the most out of your groceries. It doesn’t take big changes—just a few smart habits. By planning before you shop, organizing your fridge so nothing gets lost in the back, and storing produce in ways that keep it fresh longer, you can stretch every dollar you spend. Preserving extra food through freezing, pickling, or drying can extend its life, while repurposing scraps for soups, broths, or even household cleaning adds unexpected value. With just a little awareness and creativity, you can cut down on waste, enjoy more of what you buy, and make your kitchen work smarter for you.
