REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Weekly Meal PlanningAn average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four in the US spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?
Gianna- Cho Terranova 3/01/2022 10:30 AMThat does not surprise me because people are easily influenced by others to buy things they don't necessarily need. I would rather use that extra money to pay bills, save it, or invest it. -
