Fernanda Acosta

If I am missing an ingredient for a recipe I will find a substitute I have on hand and use that instead.

I will resist impulse buys by eating a snack or meal before going grocery shopping. Those who grocery shop on an empty stomach spend 64% more than not-hungry shoppers.

I will resist the suggestion to buy the quantity advertised on sale and only buy what I know I will eat.

I will only purchase the items on my grocery list and avoid impulse purchases.

Using pantry and freezer staples to make sure foods are being rotated out before they go bad.

I will scale down the recipe of a meal to make just the right amount for my household of 2 so we eat everything up.
