Shopping
Stick to Your Grocery List
I will only purchase the items on my grocery list and avoid impulse purchases.

Make Soup Broth
I will store vegetable scraps or bones in my freezer and use them to make veggie stock or bone broth. I will make 2 batches.

Plan to Use My Garden or CSA Produce
I will check to see what will be ready to eat in my garden or CSA box this week and plan recipes that use these ingredients.
Planning
Plan a Leftovers Day
I will plan a meal to use up leftovers by creating a tasty smorgasbord or using a recipe that repurposes them.
Planning
Learn About Portion Sizes
I will observe how much my family members eat and learn how many portions will match our life stages and appetites.

Keep a Food Inventory
I will take a fridge and pantry inventory to stay up to date with what I have at home before I go grocery shopping.

REFLECTION QUESTIONShoppingWhat are some of the things you typically buy that you weren't on your list? How do you think you might limit some of those purchases?
Donatus Junior Nkwefor Fru 10/02/2026 11:59 AMSome things I typically buy that are not on my list are snacks, drinks, or small items that catch my attention while I am shopping. These purchases may seem inexpensive at the time, but they can add up. I could limit them by making a clear shopping list and sticking to it, setting a budget before I shop, and asking myself whether I really need an item before buying it.
