All good points brought up. Something I've really tried to focus much more on is not wasting food. I think I heard on the news a couple of weeks back that the average household wastes 25% (and over $600/year) of the food in their refrigerator/pantry.

I'm not talking about you had a big meal, and can't finish that last spoonful. I'm talking about people buying a bunch of food and never even opening it before they buy more of the same. I try to buy only what I need and only wait until the absolute last minute to buy more.
