How to Save Food and Spend Less

How to Save Food and Spend Less is a free virtual presentation hosted by Rivers Co-op Markets on Monday, October 5, from 6–7 PM. Led by Senior Environmental Specialist Hannah Keller, this practical session will share simple ways to prevent food waste while cooking, planning meals, shopping, and storing food. Participants will also learn about the Save Food, Spend Less Challenge, an opportunity to put those ideas into practice throughout October.

Why We Support It

Sustainable Stillwater MN supports efforts like this because reducing food waste is a practical way to strengthen both our environment and our local economy. When we waste less food, we conserve the water, energy, land, and other resources used to produce it while also saving money at home. Learning simple strategies to shop smarter, store food properly, and make the most of what we already have is an easy, everyday action that can add up to a meaningful local impact.
