One of the easiest things to buy at the store that ends up going bad way too fast is produce. Fruits and vegetables are delicious and an essential part of a healthy diet, but don’t buy too many at once. You’ll have more than you can handle and they will become rotten and inedible.
This might seem like a hassle, but you will find that making more frequent trips to the store and buying less will motivate you to eat everything that you have before buying more things. If you make one mega-trip per week, you’re sure to not eat some of the things that you bought.
If you prepare too much food at a time, do not be shy about freezing it or putting it in the fridge! Not only will you not have to cook for a meal at a later date, but you will play a huge role in cutting down food waste.
