We've all been there. You're hungry but you can't remember what's in the fridge or just don't feel like cooking. But the thought of buying a full price meal at a restaurant or high-priced ingredients at the grocery store hurts the brain and the pocketbook.

Luckily, there are now options that let you connect with some grocery stores or restaurants to get food that isn't just cheap — it can also make you feel good knowing you're preventing food from going into a landfill.

Listen below to hear the Deal Diva chat with The Afternoon Edition's Garth Materie about a few ways you can save money while being more mindful about what's in your fridge and what gets tossed out.
