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

I will have a discussion with my 1 children about the importance of not wasting food.

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

I will try a new technique to have my children try different foods (including veggies!)

I will only purchase the items on my grocery list and avoid impulse purchases.

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

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