11 Super Easy Ways to Reduce Food Waste and Save Money

Understand expiration dates

You may find this statement silly, but most people don’t understand (or they don’t want to) expiration dates. For instance, “expires on” and “sell by” are two confusing terms use on food labels most consumers don’t understand, at least not completely.

The real issue comes from the US government because it doesn’t regulate these terms. However, “sell by” is usually used to let the retailers know when a certain product should be sold, while “best by” is actually a suggested date used to inform consumers when they should safely consume the product.

Yet, neither of these two terms suggests that a given product is unsafe to consume. We suggest looking for products that have the word “use by” on their labels. You’ll know for sure when the product will expire.
