That stat about food waste surprised me while I was watching an online talk from the EPA last Tuesday
I found out that roughly 30-40% of the US food supply gets thrown away, which I knew was bad but that number hit different. Has anyone here tried using a meal planning app to cut down on their own waste?

Meal prepping on Sundays really helped me cut waste way down.

My friend Rachel started doing her meal prep on Sunday nights after her kids go to bed, around 9pm. She bought like six glass containers from the dollar store and fills them with chicken and rice and roasted veggies. She told me last week that her food waste dropped by almost half, and she's saving maybe 30 bucks a week on groceries. @wendy131 I bet you've had similar luck with it cutting down on those random leftovers that always end up in the trash. She says the hardest part is sticking to it when she's tired on Sunday, but it's worth it.
