An Oregon mother has written a new book in which she shares tips and tricks for eliminating food waste and helping families to save $100 a month. Fox News Digital spoke with her.
Teralyn Pilgrim is an author and a mother who was inspired to write a new book about cutting down on household food waste. To her surprise, it also became a book about helping families save money. Pilgrim lives in Beavercreek, Oregon, with her husband and their three children. She began writing 'No Scrap Left Behind: My Life Without Food Waste' because she felt guilty about having so much while others had so little.
actually didn't know how much money I was wasting on groceries when I first started this,' Pilgrim told Fox News Digital. 'I think a lot of people really care about how much money they spend at the grocery store, but as soon as they take things out of their car, they completely forget the price tag.
It's the most fun because that's the part when your creativity gets to shine,' Pilgrim said. 'And it's always so satisfying to have come up with something and used the resources that you have and saved money by not throwing away and having made this great dish off of things that you would have lost otherwise.' Food waste is often associated with big industry — but Pilgrim said it's 'really in the hands of the consumers.
