6.Eat the Skin
People often remove the skins of fruits, veggies and chicken when preparing meals.
This is a shame, because so many nutrients are located in the outer layer of produce and in poultry skin. For example, apple skins contain a large amount of fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

7.Understand Expiration Dates
“Sell by” and “expires on” are just two of the many confusing terms companies use on food labels to let consumers know when a product will most likely go bad.

8.Pack Your Lunch
Although going out to lunch with coworkers or grabbing a meal from your favorite restaurant may be enjoyable, it is also costly and can contribute to food waste.

9.Don’t Toss the Grounds
Those with a green thumb may be delighted to know that coffee grounds make excellent fertilizer for plants. Coffee grounds also make a fantastic natural mosquito repellent.

10.Pamper Yourself
Combine overripe avocado with a bit of honey for a luxurious combination that can be used on the face or hair.
Mixing used coffee grounds with a bit of sugar and olive oil makes for a great body scrub. You can also apply cool used tea bags or excess cucumber slices to your eyes to reduce puffiness.
