How can I track food waste at home?

Choose a stock batch, select Record waste and enter the discarded amount, date and reason. The diary reduces the remaining batch quantity and keeps a separate waste entry. Filter the diary by date to review recurring products and reasons. Known costs use the discarded batch’s original recorded price.
