This is something we need to work on. We throw out way too much food. Our biggest problem areas are bread and produce. We do a lot of vegetarian cooking so we buy a lot of fresh veggies. Unfortunately, many veggies can't be bought in small quantities. You can't buy 2 stalks of bok choy, for example. You need to buy a whole head. Asparagus is sold in a large bunch. Stuff like that.
As for bread, I tend to freeze stuff as soon as soon as we get home but my wife and daughter prefer to leave stuff fresh and certain things don't freeze well.
We need to figure out how to use all that we buy more efficiently.
