As you may have guessed this is for a school project, basically we need some statistics for my engineering class before we get the go-ahead from the teacher. So yeah, that's pretty much it, feel free to post to keep this bumped if you can, I need at least 50 votes in all. Thanks for your time.
Three.
Barely anything goes to waste in our house since we don't really buy that much all at once.
I don't get much and I eat everything, so nothing's ever left.
My parents always try to be enviromentally friendly. So we rarely throw good food out, hell a few weeks ago i ate a freezed piece of porter steak that was older than a month, but it was fine, tasted just like it was cooked.
NONE I EAT WHAT THE OTHERS CAN'T FINISH
[QUOTE=lapsus_;38152500]NONE I EAT WHAT THE OTHERS CAN'T FINISH[/QUOTE] This post made me imagine a gaunt fellow knocking on the door of a household to ask them about how much food they waste. Then I imagined the house owner yelling this at the top of his lungs in his face before slamming the door. :v:
All of it
I can't afford to let anything go to waste
About €30 every 2 days.
$0 - 50 Very, very little food is wasted, forgotten about, spoiled or otherwise not consumed. I pretty much buy what I know I'll eat, and I buy the food in the quantity that I know will last me long enough, but not too long that I'd have to throw some of that quantity in the waste basket. Just taking a bag of sliced bread for example. I know some people who buy say... two bags. If they live with someone else that's ok I guess if they know they'll eat it all. But if the person lives alone he/she will more likely than not eat maybe one bag-worth of bread but by the time they finish it maybe two or three days later (if not more) the second bag's bread isn't fresh anymore and the person might not be willing to eat it anymore, maybe will go through half of that second bag, and eventually throw the rest down the garbage bin. Anyway, what I try my best to do is to just buy what I know I want to eat for maybe two or three days to come, but when I buy food I really don't just buy in big quanity for a full week to come. The advantage however - because it is one and not guaranteed for everyone out there - is that I am quite healthy, I like to walk and do jogging regularly, and more often then not I go do errands and stop by the local grocery store before or after my jogging and buy some products, come back home and I'm set for the next two or three days. The worst case scenario is around $15 worth of food for one month, but that's rare.
