Nobody likes food waste…
…or spending money on groceries that you watch go bad.
…or finding something you forgot about in the back of the fridge.
…or being stuck with ingredients you don’t have a plan for.
…or just feeling bad about throwing perfectly good food away.
“When I go to the grocery store, I just buy everything thinking ‘yeah of course I’ll cook that’, but I end up just watching it rot in the fridge because I either forget it’s there or I’ll tell myself ‘I’ll cook that tomorrow.’”
