[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went food shopping and noticed very few people had “full” carts. Like they were checking out with just a handful of items. I asked the grocery clerk if she noticed that too and she said she had and that their per person cart value had gone down. Are you still buying a weeks worth of groceries or just buying a few days at a time? [/quote]

I have been trying to cut back on wasted food.

I used to load up the cart 2x month to try to avoid going to the grocery store, with maybe 1 or 2 trips in the middle for things like milk or eggs.

Now, I only pick up what I need for 1-meals, making more frequent trips to different stores, but only for what we are ready to cook or eat over the next few days, plus a big costco run on e a month for quick freezer items for the kids.

Shopping for just the meals I am actually going to cook is really cutting back on waste, especially for fresh things like veggies.  I am not buying that much less, even though my carts are emptier. But I am shopping more thoughtfully so I am throwing out much less food each week.[/quote]
