Welcome to March and Food Waste Action Week!
As the days grow longer and spring approaches, it’s the perfect time to rethink how we plan, shop, and cook. Food Waste Action Week (March 17-23, 2025) is a reminder that small choices—like selecting long-lasting ingredients that can be used in multiple meals—help stretch groceries further, reduce waste and make the most of every dollar.
Superfoods with Staying Power
Some of the most commonly available, long-lasting produce can be both nourishing and budget-friendly. Choosing foods that stay fresh for weeks means fewer trips to the store, less food going to waste and more flexibility when preparing meals. Staples like cabbage, beets, squash and sweet potatoes have a long shelf-life, are full of nutrients and versatile enough to use in a variety of dishes.
Small changes — like choosing long-lasting staples and finding creative ways to use them — can help reduce waste and stretch your grocery budget.
During Food Waste Action Week and beyond, every little effort makes a difference. Wishing you a season of delicious, resourceful meals!
