I will sign up for Fridge Check Friday emails, sent by Hennepin County but open to everyone, to prompt me to check my fridge for food that needs to be used up and for hacks on storing food to keep it fresh.

I will freeze leftover food items or meals for later. The freezer is my food-waste-reduction friend!

I will create a cookbook or recipe collection of go-to meals for my household to make meal planning easier.

I will store vegetable scraps or bones in my freezer and use them to make veggie stock or bone broth. I will make 1 batches.

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 talk to 2 family members or friends about my experience with this challenge, food waste, and what I have learned.
