[quote=Anonymous]I have subscribed to a grocery delivery pass subscription (not in the DC metro area, so you won’t have the same grocery store there, but hopefully some retailers offer similar) for the last three months, and I’ve seen a pretty big change in my fridge and how we’re eating. When I’m not trying to plan meals for an entire week in one visit to the grocery store, 
I have so much less waste. I’m not buying big quantities, and then not cooking half of it because unexpected out of house events came up. I’m also cooking more at home as opposed to getting takeout or relying on convenience items precisely because it isn’t difficult or time-consuming to get ingredients. We don’t have to meal plan (and fail at it) for a week at a time. If we see a recipe that looks good, we can order the ingredients and make it 2 days later, before the appeal has worn off. And then, a few days later, we order ingredients for a few more days of meals that appeal in the moment.

If we’re talking about sustainability, I know that multiple grocery delivery trips to my house have carbon emissions. We can do what we can do and this is one way I have found that is effective at reducing food waste. [/quote]
