For each day during the food waste tracking week, record your food waste. This action accepts one entry per day, so be sure to enter one total for food waste across all of your meals, or weigh all of your food waste once at the end of each day. Please use ounces for unit of measurement.

Five bananas for $1 is a good deal only if you eat all five. Many stores offer the sale price even if you buy less than the stated quantity.

Purchase local, seasonal produce, which will likely stay fresh longer as it was picked more recently than supermarket produce.

Grocery shop more often, and buy fresh foods in smaller quantities.
