By reducing our food waste we could almost give ourselves a free month of groceries. Imagine having a month where you didn't spend any money on food. Some ways to avoid food waste: Put the leftovers in your freezer. With the exception of maybe pasta and rice dishes, a lot of food can be frozen.

We each received a set number of food points to use each week. We tried making meal plans for two week periods before going shopping, but that led to some food waste since we are sometimes hit with specific cravings and ignore the plan willy-nilly. I prefer Honey Nut Cheerios and my husband is a fan of Total Raisin Bran.

Most people are in desperate need of a good old-fashioned handyman to do everything from hanging a ceiling fan to cleaning out gutters. Leftover rice can be fried with a bag of frozen mixed veggies and some eggs for fried rice! Add a bag of frozen veggies, seasoning, and broth, and you’ve got a whole new meal!

I am normally not a fan of bulk shopping at places like Costco. Being that there are only two of us in our household, we never use up bulk groceries before they go bad, making it a wasteful endeavour. This allows us to cash in on the savings without watching our money go in the garbage by food waste. Cutting Down.
