Nanette Fredrickson

In addition to using up my edible food, I will separate and compost my food scraps using backyard composting, curbside pickup, or a drop-off program.

I will explore different meal plan techniques and choose one that works for my household.

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

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