Worst: Jerky
Since beef jerky is preserved with salt and other spices, you’d think it stays fresh for a long time, no? Well, no. The snack, whether it’s chicken, beef, or turkey, has to be refrigerated after opening. Most jerky packages say that it should be eaten within three days of opening and stored in the fridge. Even in the refrigerator, jerky will only last about a week or two. For this reason, you’re better off sticking to smaller packages.

Worst: Hummus
Unless you plan on throwing a party, you won’t need as much hummus as a Costco-sized tub will give you. Get a smaller sized container from a traditional grocery store in order to prevent food waste.
