I will plan a meal to use up leftovers by creating a tasty smorgasbord or using a recipe that repurposes them.

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

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