She offers some strategies for doing that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shop your refrigerator first. Before buying more food, eat perishable food in the refrigerator, or incorporate it into meal planning.<\/li>\n<li>Strategic grocery shopping. Once you plan meals, make a shopping list\u2014and stick to it. Avoid impulse buying.<\/li>\n<li>Store food properly. Maintain your refrigerator at 40 F or lower and the freezer at zero degrees. Store food in packaging designed for storage in the freezer, refrigerator or possibly at room temperature.<\/li>\n<li>Extend the life of food. Frozen food can be safe for extended periods; follow recommended storage times. Canning properly is another way to extend food life.<\/li>\n<li>Understand and check food product dates. A &#8220;sell by&#8221; date tells the store how long to display the product for sale. &#8220;Best by&#8221; or &#8220;use by&#8221; dates are the food manufacturer&#8217;s recommendation for best flavor and quality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nwadike, who has a joint <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointment with Kansas State University, has worked with staff at both universities to publish a fact sheet to help consumers cut the waste and save money at home.<br \/>\n&#8220;Working Together to Reduce Food Waste&#8221; is available for free download at bookstore.ksre.ksu.edu\/pubs\/MF3482.pdf.<br \/>\nThe publication outlines several strategies for reducing waste, including things consumers can do at home; donating to food banks; and building a compost pile, Nwadike said.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Reduce food waste to save money (2020, June 12)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 12 June 2020<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/phys.org\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2020-06-food-money.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
