5. I have found whole milk lasts way longer than reduced fat

Even when opened. We now buy smaller quantities too (half gallons vs. gallons) if the sell by date is less than one week away.

We typically freeze any bread we know won't be consumed within a couple of days. While I hate throwing away moldy bread, at least I know is isn't full of preservatives. Most breads shouldn't last very long unless they are very dry.

Produce seems to be lasting about the same as usual, but I do check the berry cartons more often before I buy for any looking past their prime. Had a few cartons of fresh berries go bad before I noticed. (And yes, I also do freeze berries).
