Fridge waste starts with a forgotten date

Let what expires first stay visible

It is easy to put the new milk on the door shelf. The old carton stays at the back. The list sorts by days left. What ends today sits above what has twelve days. Looking before the shop stops the second carton.

Write down what happened

Used and discarded are not the same. One was eaten. One went in the bin. Both leave the active list. If discarded rows pile up by the end of the month, the problem is the shopping, not the date. The free plan shows the current state. Premium adds 7, 30, and 90 days, and a waste rate.

An opened pack is its own day

Once tomato paste, milk, or a ready sauce is open, the printed date may not be enough. Write how many days it lasts open. Tracking follows whichever comes first, that span or the date on the package. A forgotten open jar ends before the closed one on the shelf.

Let the household look at one list

If one person keeps a list and another buys the same thing, the waste doubles. One list is enough for a shared kitchen. A personal bag or an office drawer can stay off it. Shared items do not mix into personal statistics.
