I will track the food that my household of 3 throws out so I can learn what we're wasting and why.

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 plan to share meals with my 1 kids if I know they will not eat full restaurant portions.

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.

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