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.

In the pantry, check "best by" dates.
