I will scale down the recipe of a meal to make just the right amount for my household of 4 so we eat everything up.

I will have a discussion with my 2 children about the importance of not wasting food.

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

I will create an "Eat First" area in my fridge to prioritize food that needs to be used right away for my household of 4.

I will freeze fruits and veggies, such as overripe bananas or avocados, to use later in smoothies.

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.

Bigger carts make us feel like we need to fill them! Use a hand basket to improve grocery store discipline and prevent over-purchasing.
