How can I reduce food waste in my kitchen

[ConorBarton]

Sure! Here are five different ways you can reduce food waste in your kitchen:

[RuthMayer]

**Plan Your Meals**: Before you hit the grocery store, take a few minutes to plan your meals for the week. This way, you’ll only buy what you actually need and avoid impulse purchases that might go to waste.

**Use Leftovers Creatively**: Instead of just reheating last night’s dinner, get creative! Turn leftover veggies into a stir-fry, or use stale bread for croutons or a bread pudding.

**Proper Storage**: Make sure you’re storing your food correctly. Use airtight containers for leftovers and keep fruits and veggies in the right spots in the fridge to make them last longer.

**Check Expiration Dates**: Regularly check what you have in your pantry and fridge. Use the “first in, first out” rule—eat the older items before the newer ones to ensure nothing goes bad.
