I will set aside time to prepare meals in advance.

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

I will store vegetable scraps or bones in my freezer and use them to make veggie stock or bone broth. I will make 2 batches.

I will put carrots and celery in jars filled with water to keep them fresh, crisp, and easy to grab for up to a week. I will properly store 3 veggie snacks.

I will check to see what will be ready to eat in my garden or CSA box this week and plan recipes that use these ingredients.

I will explore different meal plan techniques and choose one that works for my household.

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

I will create a cookbook or recipe collection of go-to meals for my household to make meal planning easier.

I will identify a better system for gathering chicken scraps to feed to my hens that will allow me to save more waste and get my husband to participate.

I will create an "Eat First" area in my fridge to prioritize food that needs to be used right away for my household of 2.
