Trisha Lageson

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

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

I will organize my refrigerator to maximize shelf life based on the temperature and humidity of different spots.

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

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

I will observe how much my family members eat and learn how many portions will match our life stages and appetites.
