I know we are all rather terrified of causing glass breakage…that’s a messy problem, and it also results in food waste because WHO is going to try to eat food that might have glass shards in it?

of Agriculture, a US family of 4 discards around $1500 a year on food waste. Imagine saving your family’s budget $1500 a year just by being more aware of your food waste and taking action to stop it.

Not only will you save money on groceries, but it also helps prevent food waste. Of course, none of these efforts will work if you’re spending the extra money.
