How much food does the average American throw away per year?
In the US, households throw away about 80-100 lbs of food per person annually, worth approximately $200-300. Across the entire chain (households, restaurants, retail, industry), food waste exceeds 80 billion pounds yearly. Expiry date tracking helps identify which products should be used first to minimize waste.

Add products and their best-by dates, and the tool reminds you of expiring items.
- List products and their best-by dates in one place.
- Get reminders when a product's date approaches.
- Quickly see which products should be used first.
Best-by date doesn't mean the product is dangerous after that – it indicates best quality.
- Best-by ≠ use-by date – many products are still good after the best-by date.
- Use-by date (e.g., on meat products) is an absolute limit instead.
- Sensory assessment (smell, taste, appearance) often tells more than the date.
Reducing food waste saves money and the environment.
- Store products properly – temperature and packaging affect shelf life.
- Freezing significantly extends most products' lifespan.
- Data is stored in your browser – backup important lists if needed.
