We are changing our shopping habits
by buying less so our food isn’t wasted.
We waste 20 pounds of food every month, and lose
almost $2,000 a year for a family of four.
News 12's consumer reporter Janice Lieberman asked a chef
for tips on keeping our food fresher and longer.
Julie Hartigan showed Lieberman some easy ways to make our
investments pay off longer - including making your own cauliflower rice.
Make sure your refrigerator is set at 34 degrees and your
freezer at zero to ensure freshness.
Do not overcrowd your refrigerator this can create warm
spots which lead to food spoilage.
Use what’s in your fridge - Cooklist.com helps you find
recipes for food you already have.
To help with the hefty price at
checkout - be smart about using credit cards that give you cash back.
