Some leftovers dont get eaten
Loves yoghurt
Fruit gets eaten quick
Produce is used within the week unless to busy to cook and so easy meals are made and produce is used slowly
Buys from woolworths so produce lasts longer around 2 weeks
Eats almost all fresh produce and eggs
Waste goes to dogs
on a diet and so all food must be consumed within the week
some fresh produce may spoil due to over compensation

There wasn't much waste
Some students sometimes run out of food before the end of the month.
Some students buy in small amounts so they don't spend a lot. They normally use the rest of their grocery money for other things
