We tell you easy ways to save big bucks—and keep your family safe—by shopping smarter for food, and storing smarter, too! We waste about a pound of food per person each day in America. That's about 25% of what we buy. And if you're trying to eat healthy and buying more produce, odds are you waste even more. The USDA estimates that the grand total each American family wastes on food is $1,500 a year!
