“The average Canadian household wastes between 500 to 750 grams of food per person a day, or about $1,500 a year.”

My biggest problem at this time of year is trying to resist buying too much fresh veggies and fruit at good prices. No, I don't have a big enough freezer to freeze lots either. So some of the stuff does spoil.
