ABC News’ Amy Robach reports:
Rebecca Dickinson’s food bill amounts to approximately $300 a week and more than $1,400 a month.
It’s a significant bill and challenge for the wife and stay-at-home mother of two who makes breakfast, packs school lunches and cooks dinner four times a week for her family. But how much of that food goes to waste?
To find out, ABC News’ “Real Money” team followed the Morristown, N.J., family for a week with cameras set up in the refrigerator and the pantry. The family’s trash was even weighed to see what they bought in the grocery store, what they made for meals and what they threw away.
