  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Weekly Meal Planning
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

    $1,500 could be used on a vacation or home updates, or to pay additional monies towards a mortgage or car payment.
