Kayla McMayer

I will scale down the recipe of a meal to make just the right amount for my household of 3 so we eat everything up.

I will try a new method of food preservation, such as canning, pickling, drying or making jam. I will try 1 preservation techniques.

I will take a fridge and pantry inventory to stay up to date with what I have at home before I go grocery shopping.

Bigger carts make us feel like we need to fill them! Use a hand basket to improve grocery store discipline and prevent over-purchasing.

I will intentionally buy ugly produce at the grocery store, farmers market, or sign up for an ugly produce CSA box.

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

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