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 what food is still safe to eat if portions have gone bad and make sure to utilize the edible portions if I can.

I will learn about food labels and not throw food out just based on the date on the package, but instead check the smell and color to see if it has gone bad.

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

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