This week we're talking about making use of every bit of produce, from potato peels and mushy bananas, to wilted herbs and dairy on the verge of its best-before date. This episode of Three Kitchens Podcast will help you stretch your dollar by suggesting ways of tossing less out into the compost or trash bin and getting more from the groceries you buy.

1. Obviously, composting is a better option than sending things to the landfill. If you don't have time or energy to do anything else with those odds, ends, peels, etc, toss them in a compost bin.

2. The easiest way to use up bits and pieces of produce is to make broth. We like to keep a container specifically for this purpose in the freezer.

3. We have awesome ideas for using up peels from carrots, potatoes, citrus fruit and garlic. 

4. We even have suggestions for using up that milk that is on the verge of going bad, or those sad wilted herbs.

Enjoy these ideas for making the most of your groceries! And check out the many other things we talk about in this episode in the links below.
