HOW MUCH FOOD DO YOU WASTE?

And how much money do we waste on wasted food? 1,500. Americans waste a lot of food year-round – about one-third of all purchased groceries. That’s equivalent to $1,500 worth of groceries for a four-person household each year.

Grocery stores waste about 43 billion pounds of food every year, even though most stores say they  are now committed to doing better.
