22. Search for Food Distributors at your local grocery store

Some grocery stores have food dispensers that allow you to buy nuts, grains, and coffee with sterling. This can reduce waste compared to buying something pre-packaged with plastic. Many of these shops will allow you to take your packaging or dump items into biodegradable paper bags.

Practicing this habit will help reduce food waste as you can buy the exact amount you need. For example, if you want to buy enough food to have a snack that week, you don’t have to buy the whole container or seed bag. Instead, you can measure your exact amount, which will likely save you money in the long run.
