Do you enjoy the convenience of shopping on Amazon, but find yourself disappointed by all of the packaging waste when it arrives? Amazon has created a program called "frustration-free" packaging that offers over 90,000 items designed to ship with the least amount of packaging waste possible. As you're searching for items, just select "Frustration-Free Packaging" in the search options along the left side of the page. All of these items have been "lab-tested" to arrive in tip-top shape with minimized packaging, and it's all done with 100% recyclable components. There are also no plastic clamshells or wire ties, which makes it easier to open.

The idea is simple: Their tips and proven strategies can help maximize the freshness and quality of your groceries so you can waste less and safely eat your food. It's easy to search: Select a main category (like "dairy," "grains" or "meat") and then choose the subcategory in that section to find out how long you can safely store and use your ingredients at home!

If your garbage disposal smells funny, don't pour toxic chlorine bleach down the drain. Instead, think tomato soup. Tomatoes can neutralize odor -- like washing the family dog with canned tomatoes after he's been sprayed by a skunk -- so they'll do wonders for your garbage disposal. This is an excellent thing to do when making or heating up tomato soup for lunch or dinner; just water down the leftovers and try this hack (to avoid food waste). Let the soup sit in the drain for a while before washing it away with regular tap water.
