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

Bigger carts make us feel like we need to fill them! Use a hand basket to improve grocery store discipline and prevent over-purchasing.

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 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 learn about how to repurpose my leftovers into new meals and then try it.

I will learn about what food is still safe to eat if portions have gone bad and make sure to utilize the edible portions if I can.
