Some “tips” given on a local radio show. The show’s theme: “How can Connecticut residents conserve food and eat healthier?”

1. Buy applesauce in a large container and then use it as needed instead of buying individual, pre-packed applesauce.

2. Take your lunch to work.

3. Buy the cheapest bottle of by-the-glass wine when you eat out so you won’t have to sacrifice on the wines you stock at home.

4. Buy the over-ripe fruit at the grocery store to get a discount.

And my personal favorite:

5. Go to Burger King and order two junior whoppers instead of a regular whopper. Throw away one bun. Put the meat together. You’ll also get two extra “servings” of vegetables this way because you’ll have two tomatoes and two onions. But don’t get the fries and soda because that would be unhealthy.
