    Connecting with people during social distancing has given me some semblance of normalcy during a time that is clearly not normal. I've been playing online boardgames (I recommend Catan, Codenames, Skribbl..if anyone knows of other good online board games let me know!) with friends most nights, which is something we would've done in person prior to this.

    • Use by: Last date that products is at peak quality
    • Sell by: How long a store should sell the product for 
    • Best by: When product is at peak quality 
    The misunderstanding around product dating leads to unnecessary food waste of safe, usable products. Understanding what these dates mean is a very easy step for consumers to decrease their own food waste AND save money.
