I confess, i have been guilty of wasting food. i never do this purposely, but i end up buying too many fruits and vegetables, then forget they're there and before i know it, they are starting to go bad. i have really tried to get better about using veggies that are a little past their prime. sometimes i even buy fruits and vegetables that aren't very attractive. even if it doesn't look perfect, most of this food can still be used and enjoyed. i recently bought a bag of potatoes at the grocery store. i don't know about where you shop, but.
