Introduction
Food waste is a global issue that not only impacts our wallets but also the environment. According to the United Nations, approximately one-third of all food produced for human consumption is wasted every year. This amounts to a staggering 1.3 billion tonnes of food wasted annually. One way to combat this problem is through frugal food storage techniques. By learning how to properly store food and get the most out of it, we can reduce waste and save money.
Plan Your Meals
The first step in frugal food storage is to plan your meals. By having a clear idea of what you will be cooking and eating throughout the week, you can avoid buying unnecessary ingredients and minimize waste. Take inventory of the items you already have in your pantry and refrigerator and plan your meals around them. This will help you use up what you already have, reducing the likelihood of food going bad before you get a chance to eat it.
