You likely have an invisible, costly, and tasty problem in your home -- it's food waste! The average household throws out $1,100 of perfectly good food every year! If your fridge is filled with good intentions, but you still manage to garbage your groceries, this episode could help you save hundreds, even thousands of dollars every year. Angela Cooper, PhD, an Associate at BEworks, is a behavioral scientist with the recipe for reducing food waste.

In this episode Angela unlocks our food wasting habits and shares with science-backed research how small, simple steps can turn these costly behaviors into sustainable actions. Plus you'll save money and may reduce your grocery bill too. @squawkfox @beworks
