How to Save $2000 on Groceries This Year? Conduct a Family Food Waste Audit by Alison Mountford
A typical family of four puts over $2000 worth of food in the trash per year! Not only is this a financial disaster, it’s terrible for the environment, too. So, how do you know what you're tossing out and learn to change? Start with a food waste audit! (It’s way more fun than it sounds, I promise.)
- Print out the spreadsheet and tape it up near your trash or compost.
- Get the whole family to write down the amount and reason for throwing edible food away.
- Be sure to keep track for a week, then have a family meeting to find patterns in the data.
- Next time you go grocery shopping or do your dinner meal planning, you can make small but meaningful changes to your purchases.
Now, how will you spend that extra cash?
