I will learn about food storage and store food based on best practices to keep it from spoiling before it is used.

I will learn about food labels and not throw food out just based on the date on the package, but instead check the smell and color to see if it has gone bad.

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

To keep berries fresh, place them on top of a paper towel in a sealed container to absorb excess moisture and reduce chances of molding. I will properly store 6 packs of berries.

I will freeze fruits and veggies, such as overripe bananas or avocados, to use later in smoothies.

When I restock my fridge or pantry, I will put new items in the back and bring older items to the front to be used first.

I will organize my refrigerator to maximize shelf life based on the temperature and humidity of different spots.
