Have a plan when you buy fruits, vegetables

It isn't that we aren't buying enough fruits and vegetables. We're buying plenty of fruits and vegetables. It's that we're buying them and throwing them away. "I've recently seen a study that put a dollar amount on the produce that we throw away, and that is a little more than $500 a year per family," said dietician Tina Miller, a Meijer healthy living advisor. "I think what's really happening is, when it comes to produce, our shoppers don't have a plan," Ms. Miller said.
