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

I will scale down the recipe of a meal to make just the right amount for my household of 2 so we eat everything up.

I will create an "Eat First" area in my fridge to prioritize food that needs to be used right away for my household of 2.

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.

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.
