Meal Planning to Reduce Food Waste
Knowing how you will use your food is key to preventing it from going to waste. Meal planning can be simpler than you think, and we’ve created tools to help you shop smarter and plan affordable, nutritious meals.

For example, bananas, tomatoes, fresh herbs, and bread last longer on the kitchen counter, while milk, eggs, berries, and cut or cooked produce are best kept in the fridge.
