I will freeze leftover food items or meals for later. The freezer is my food-waste-reduction friend!

I will buy frozen fruits and vegies so they will last longer or I will freeze my purchases (bread, fruits, vegies)

I will buy loose produce or food from the bulk section to get the exact quantity I need, instead of buying pre-packed quantities.

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.

I will track the food that my household of 1 throws out so I can learn what we're wasting and why.

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.
