I will attend an event from the Save Food, Spend Less Challenge - Calendar of Events.

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

I will resist the suggestion to buy the quantity advertised on sale and only buy what I know I will eat.

I will volunteer 6 hours to support existing community food waste reduction and recovery efforts like gleaning or for a food bank.

In addition to using up my edible food, I will separate and compost my food scraps using backyard composting, curbside pickup, or a drop-off program.

I will intentionally buy ugly produce at the grocery store, farmers market, or sign up for an ugly produce CSA box.

I will purchase produce and meat directly from a local farmers market and make 3 meals.
