Do the Food Waste Challenge

Whether you’re planning for expenses like classes, school supplies, or activities or saving for college, the next vacation, or retirement, you would never just throw money in the trash. But when you let good food go to waste, that’s exactly what you’re doing. The average person spends nearly $500 every year on food they’ll never eat and just end up throwing away. The cost of those rotten apples, leftovers that never got eaten, and questionable half carton of milk all adds up.

Take the Stop Food Waste Challenge to learn easy, practical skills that will help you stop wasting food and put more money in your pocket!
