REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Weekly Meal PlanningAn average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?
Ejovi Ovhori 10/22/2019 5:45 AMFamilies wasting $1,500/year on average is not entirely surprising when you realize a lot of families get groceries in bulk. It's difficult to estimate how much you're going to eat over a long period of time and in most cases a lot of the food goes to waste/expires. I think meal prepping with more frequent grocery shopping is a more efficient approach. By placing an emphasis on only buying what you need, you save on the amount of food that goes to waste which translates to cost savings.
