**Eat your most perishable foods first.**
Use delicate produce and foods that spoil quickly early in your charter. Save sturdier fruits and vegetables and shelf-stable ingredients for later in the week.
And don't throw away those bananas when they start getting too ripe. Freeze them and use them for smoothies later.
Planning the order in which you use your groceries helps reduce food waste while gradually freeing up valuable refrigerator space.
