- Go Green - Recycle leftovers. Research shows American households toss out up to 30 percent of their food products bought every year. Avoid throwing money (and rotten produce) into the garbage by opting for nonperishable goods versus fresh items that could spoil faster.
- Save Green - Maximize savings when it comes to food prep. Heat-and-eat meals can be ready in under five minutes-saving hours of cooktop space and reducing energy costs.
- Eat Greens - Don't sacrifice health and nutrition to cut grocery bills. Canned Southern-style greens are rich in antioxidants, calcium and vitamin E-key nutrients that help fight viruses, enhance lung health, offer heart protection and increase brain function.
