As grocery prices continue to skyrocket, we're all looking for ways to save money on food. Fortunately, a company offers a way to save up to 80% on pantry essentials, while also helping to cut down on food waste.
The scoop
Founded in 2021, Martie set out to address the nation's food-waste problem while also making high-quality goods more accessible to people.
Years later, its mission has come to fruition.
Martie works with brands to get their surplus and overstock goods. This keeps food that may have otherwise gone to waste out of landfills and into people's pantries. It also means they can offer these goods at better savings than traditional grocery stores.

The company offers a variety of pantry essentials, including snacks, drinks, pasta, oils and vinegars, nut butters, coffee, and more, all at prices up to 80% off retail.
How it's helping
Although we've all heard that food waste is a problem, some of the statistics behind it are staggering.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, an estimated 30% to 40% of the country's food supply gets wasted. This results in more than 130 billion pounds and $160 billion worth of food going to waste each year.
Not only is that food that families in need could have used, but it also clogs up our landfills and results in a tremendous amount of heat-trapping pollution for food that ultimately gets thrown away. Studies have found that more than one-quarter of the world's heat-trapping emissions come from food systems.
