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 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 try a new technique to have my children try different foods (including veggies!)

If I am missing an ingredient for a recipe I will find a substitute I have on hand and use that instead.

I will plan to share meals with my 3 kids if I know they will not eat full restaurant portions.
