As prices for the things we buy and use continue trending higher while
our income mostly does not, I thought the following may interest those
who live on a fixed income.  It will also interest those who, out of
principle, want to cut down on environmental waste.

Attention Penny Forward Supporters

Financial Sense¢: How to Save $1,500 Annually by Reducing Food Waste

We are excited to invite you to this month’s edition of the Financial
Sense¢ program, where we will be delving into a topic that affects us
all: food waste. According to a December 2022 Fortune article, it was
revealed that Americans squander approximately one-third of the food
they purchase. Shockingly, this equates to the average family
discarding a staggering $1,500 worth of unused food annually.
In an effort to make a positive impact on both our wallets and the
environment, this month’s Financial Sense¢ program will focus on
practical strategies to avoid food waste. We believe that together, we
can make a significant change by implementing some straightforward yet
effective techniques.

Thank you to all of those that have already registered for our
Financial Sense¢ series. If you are registered on Zoom. You will get
the information emailed to you again the day of the event about 90min
before the start.

What to expect
During our gathering, we will explore various insightful methods to
tackle this issue head-on:
1.
Strategic Meal Planning: Learn how to plan your meals effectively,
ensuring that you buy only what you need and use everything you
purchase.
2.
Transforming Leftovers: Discover the art of turning yesterday’s meal
into an exciting new culinary creation. Waste not, want not!
3.
Freezing for the Future: Understand the proper way to freeze leftovers
and excess ingredients to enjoy them at a later time, reducing the
likelihood of spoilage.
4.
Smart Food Storage: Get tips on using the right food storage
containers to extend the freshness of your ingredients, allowing you
to enjoy them for a longer period.
We encourage you to come prepared to share your own tried-and-true
methods for preventing food waste and injecting creativity into your
meals. By exchanging ideas and insights, we can all contribute to a
more sustainable future while keeping our plates enticingly diverse.

We will be on zoom, Facebook Live, Youtube Live, and Clubhouse.
