We are shopping with Ms. Cheap at Kroger. Mary shows us how to save money while doing your part to minimize food waste!
Here are some helpful tips from Ms. Cheap:
- Choose fruits and vegetables with a longer shelf life like apples, carrots, cabbage, as opposed to ones that go bad quickly like berries and mushrooms and cucumbers.
- Only buy what you think you will use in the short term. Planning is key.
- Watch expiration dates and choose products with the longest shelf life. Think dairy.
- Plan meals that use up what you have on hand.
- Freeze leftovers to use later in soups and casseroles and stir frys.
- Store some items like bread in the freezer to keep it fresh longer.
