One sure way to save money is to make sure you use up all of the food you buy. We strive hard to buy items on sale, use coupons, shop with a list, not shop hungry, and follow all of the other grocery shopping money-saving tips, and we feel pretty good when we look at the receipt and see our savings.
But most people probably don't go back to their receipts after all of the food is gone and deduct what was thrown away. We're not suggesting you do this -- and it probably would be really difficult to do even if you tried. But one area that we often find ourselves struggling with is throwing out produce that's gone bad.
If you buy fruits and vegetables that are either already bad (or have big sections that are rotten) or will be past their prime within a couple of days after purchasing them, you'll be throwing food away that could have otherwise been avoided.
Rachel Ray has a bunch of tips that can help you figure out how to buy produce. Click the link below to see her tips, along with a video of Rachel picking out produce (she gets far more applause than we'll ever get shopping for produce).
Also, do you have any tips of your own for how to buy produce? Do you know what to look for? Do you stand on one foot and jump up and down with a cantaloupe in hand? Share your techniques with us by leaving a comment below!
