Lynnea Harms

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 reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu of meals and ingredients for my household of 2.

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

I will sign up for Fridge Check Friday emails, sent by Hennepin County but open to everyone, to prompt me to check my fridge for food that needs to be used up and for hacks on storing food to keep it fresh.

I will set aside time to prepare meals in advance.

I will create a cookbook or recipe collection of go-to meals for my household to make meal planning easier.
