Grocery shopping: a necessary evil as an adult, and an absolute requirement if you aim to cook at home. But if you’re anything like the average consumer, you’ve spent hours wandering in and out of aisle after aisle of packaged foods, staring at nutrition labels, and feeling downright baffled by the amount of peanut butter brands on the shelf (seriously, isn’t it just peanuts, oil, and salt?)
We all eat (or at least try to eat) a lot of fruits and vegetables. Now, if you really are a produce nut, you may have noticed your grocery bill isn’t nearly as cheap as you’d like it to be, and your trash can seems to fill up again just as soon as you’ve successfully convinced someone to take the trash out. I’m well aware of the fact that some people don’t compile as much trash because, believe it or not, I’ve actually met someone who eats the entire kiwi (furry skin and all), and pickling watermelon rinds is a thing. Plus, I’d like to praise all the composters out there.
