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 download and use an app that helps me track and manage my food.

I will set aside time to prepare meals in advance.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu of meals and ingredients for my household of 3.

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

I will learn about what food is still safe to eat if portions have gone bad and make sure to utilize the edible portions if I can.

I will learn about food labels and not throw food out just based on the date on the package, but instead check the smell and color to see if it has gone bad.

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