REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Learn the Truth About Expiration DatesHow does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?
Laura Lano 4/11/2019 6:35 AMThe average American family throws away 950 pounds of food per year, and spends $1,800 on food they never eat - understanding the differences between use by, sell by, and best by dates will help me reduce my food waste and hopefully save me some money -
