I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu of meals and ingredients for my household of 1.

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

I will set aside time to prepare meals in advance.

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

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

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

I will create an "Eat First" area in my fridge to prioritize food that needs to be used right away for my household of 1.
