Canadian families face a $1,000 grocery inflation spike in 2026. Learn how to stop the financial bleed by fixing your kitchen logistics and planning gap.
Low-Waste Meal Planning: Stop the "Buy-Rot-Throw" Cycle
The average family throws away 30% of the food they buy. We call this the **"Buy-Rot-Throw" cycle**: buying with good intentions, letting produce rot in the fridge, and guiltily trashing it on trash day. The solution isn't to "try harder" — it is to plan backward. In this guide, you will learn how to reverse your grocery logic. Instead of shopping for recipes, we teach you to shop your pantry first, cook once to eat twice, and turn leftovers into assets. Strategic meal planning is the single most effective tool to lower your grocery bill and eliminate kitchen guilt immediately.
