Smart Money Tip: Are You Throwing Money Away?

Nobody would just throw money in the garbage, but that is essentially what we do every time we waste food. According to one study, the average American spends $1,300 on food that ends up in the garbage.

DO THIS TODAY: Plan your meals for a week. Choose meals based on items on hand that need to be eaten. Make a list of all the ingredients you still need and “shop” for needed items in the fridge, freezer and pantry BEFORE you hit the grocery store.
