Stop wasting so much food, 5 On Your Side has advice - WRAL
Now that grocery store trips are limited and items aren't always in stock, it's more important than ever to manage the food already in the home.
5 On Your Side's Monica Laliberte shares ways to extend shelf life.
The key is how the food is stored.
In the refrigerator, make sure cold air can circulate throughout the space.
For optimum freshness, the refrigerator should be set at 37 degrees, and the freezer at zero.
In the pantry, check "best by" dates.
