Abby Drehmel

I will only purchase the items on my grocery list and avoid impulse purchases.

I will resist the suggestion to buy the quantity advertised on sale and only buy what I know I will eat.

I will watch 1 videos or documentaries to learn about the scope and scale of food waste in this country.

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

I will purchase produce and meat directly from a local farmers market and make 2 meals.

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