Most people have no idea how much food they actually waste each month. They have a rough feeling — "we throw away quite a bit" or "we're pretty good about it" — but no real numbers to work with. Without numbers, it's almost impossible to improve.
That's why Eatvora Plus includes a monthly Report Card: a full breakdown of your food habits, delivered at the end of every month, so you can see exactly where you stand and where you're improving.
What Your Report Card Shows
Here's an example of what a monthly report looks like for a typical household:
The Five Sections of Your Report
1. Savings Summary
The headline number: how much money you rescued this month by using food before it expired. Calculated from the retail value of items you tracked and used, versus items that were wasted. Most Plus households see $60–$120 per month.
2. Usage Rate by Category
A breakdown of how well you used each food category — meat, vegetables, dairy, fruit, bread. This shows you exactly where your household's weak spots are. Most people are surprised: it's rarely the category they expected.
3. Environmental Impact
An estimate of the CO2 equivalent you avoided by not wasting food. Calculated using average carbon footprint data per food category. Over a year, consistent Eatvora users save the equivalent of several hundred kilograms of CO2.
4. Month-on-Month Trend
How this month compares to last month, and to your 3-month average. The trend line is often more motivating than the raw number — seeing consistent improvement builds the habit.
5. Personalised Tips
Based on your actual data, Eatvora suggests one or two specific changes that would have the biggest impact next month. If bread is your worst category, it tells you that — and gives you practical suggestions like freezing loaves when you buy them.
Why This Matters Beyond the Money
There's something that happens when you see your food habits in numbers for the first time. The vague sense that "we waste some food" becomes a specific, trackable, improvable metric. And metrics change behaviour in a way that intentions don't.
Families who use the Report Card consistently don't just save money. They develop genuinely different shopping habits. They buy less. They use what they have. They freeze before things expire. These changes stick — not because they made a resolution, but because they can see the evidence every month.

- Scan every receipt — the report is only as accurate as the data going in. The more consistently you track, the more useful the report.
- Mark items as used, not just expired — this tells Eatvora that you actually cooked the chicken, rather than just assuming it was thrown away.
- Focus on one category — pick the worst-performing category from last month and make that your focus for the next 4 weeks.
- Share your score — households that share their monthly score with a partner or family member improve twice as fast. Accountability is powerful.
The Report Card is available to all Eatvora Plus subscribers. You can upgrade inside the app at any time — or start with the free plan and see how much you're already saving before deciding.
