the hidden cost of groceries

Yet Another Way To Save At DinnerSmith

Perhaps you do it once a week.

Perhaps only when you trace those funky smells to your refrigerator’s crisper drawers. But eventually, you toss out spoiled fruits, vegetables meats and cheeses. Lots of them.

Researchers at the University of Arizona several years ago spent a year tracking families’ food-use habits. Working with the United States Department of Agriculture, they interviewed the families about their eating habits, collected their grocery receipts, watched them prepare meals, and then sifted through every last discarded lettuce leaf, slice of bread, burger and bean. The results, reported in 2002, were pretty shocking, but still bear reporting today:

The families tossed out an average of 470 pounds of food per year- about 14 percent of all food brought into the home-at an annual cost of $600!

Could you do with an extra $600?
