Not really. We go through bread and milk too quickly for it to go bad. We keep produce and leftovers on the top shelves and other things in the crisper drawers so we don't forget about the produce and leftovers. But DH is really good about eating leftovers and we just can't really afford to waste much.

More than I would like but most of its produce I can toss in our compost bin.

Sometimes produce and occasionally bread, but otherwise I feel like we are decent at not wasting too much.

We are terrible about eating lettuce in time, so I just don't buy it very often. Other than that, I try REEEEEAAAALLLLY hard not to throw food away. I started putting stuff in the freezer if I knew I wasn't going to get to it in time and repurposing it- chicken on the bone/carrots/celery/onions go in a bag together for chicken stock, stale bread ends go in another bag and become stuffing, random veggies are frozen and then roasted, mushy fruit goes in smoothies or muffins. DH also doesn't complain if we have leftovers once or twice a week (or he will take them for lunches).

Guilty here too. I have my produce delivered, its always just a box of random stuff. I LOVE IT. But, when DH is deployed or gone, which is often...I def throw a lot more out.

Buuuuuuut.....its kinda still used. When its starting to show signs its at the end of its life (produce) I cut it up and give it to my ducks and chickens. LOL

Not a ton, but more than I'd like. I really try to only buy exactly what we have planned to eat but sometimes recipes come out disgusting so we don't eat all the servings, so that gets thrown out.

@Bao: I never, every throw out food. It kills me to do that! Mayyyybe like an old ear of corn or thoroughly rotten banana every once in a while. Food "best by" and expiration dates are a bunch of BS and we always push the limit. I have never once gotten sick and I've eaten some embarrassingly old, expired food (like eggs and yogurt 2 months over their best by dates lol). I don't mess with stinky meat though ever!!!
