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 take a fridge and pantry inventory to stay up to date with what I have at home before I go grocery shopping.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu of meals and ingredients for my household of 3.

I will set aside time to prepare meals in advance.

I will track the food that my household of 3 throws out so I can learn what we're wasting and why.

I will plan a meal to use up leftovers by creating a tasty smorgasbord or using a recipe that repurposes them.
