Did you know that the average American wastes roughly 25% of the food they bring into their homes? We've all been there: freezer burn, mystery meat, biology experiments in the crisper...
Imagine not experiencing that waste! With Thrive foods, everything in the can is usable, first of all! If you buy broccoli by the pound in the store, you end up cutting off 1/3 of it to get to the edible parts. How many times have you bought a flat of berries only to have them spoil before you can finish them? I know celery, mushrooms and sour cream are also big offenders in our home. We love them but can't always use them up before they go bad.
Purchasing and using long-life foods insures that you have plenty of time to use them before they would expire. Most of our cans have a 25-30 year shelf life if unopened and a 1-2 year shelf life once opened. My pantry cans of blueberries and mangoes didn't last us more than a few weeks because they were so good, but in those few weeks, the fresh equivalent would have spoiled first. Note to self: we're buying #10 (larger, gallon-sized) cans next time!
An easy way to make room in your budget to start monthly shipments (which we call "the Q") of Thrive foods is to take 25% of your family's grocery budget and re-allocate it to the Q. Don't think you can spare 25%? When you're not throwing food out, you've paid for your 25% right there. Contact me to get started on the Q in January and February and I will hold a drawing for a free pouch of freeze-dried fruit!
