Use the FIFO Method in Your Pantry and Fridge

The Problem

Food expires in the back of the pantry and fridge. You throw away $50-100/month in wasted food.

The Hack

When putting away groceries, move existing items to the front and place new items behind them. Oldest items are always grabbed first.

Why It Works

Restaurants and grocery stores use FIFO to prevent waste. The same principle in your kitchen ensures nothing gets buried, forgotten, and expired. Reduces food waste by 30-50%.

Pro Tips

• Move old items forward EVERY time you put groceries away
• Check expiration dates during the 30-second rotation
• Clear fridge shelves weekly — toss anything expired
• This habit saves $50-100/month in food waste
