Joan Bauer

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

I will buy loose produce or food from the bulk section to get the exact quantity I need, instead of buying pre-packed quantities.

I will track the food that my household of 1 throws out so I can learn what we're wasting and why.

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.
