I will track the food that my household of 2 throws out so I can learn what we're wasting and why.

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

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

I will learn about how to repurpose my leftovers into new meals and then try it.

I will scale down the recipe of a meal to make just the right amount for my household of 2 so we eat everything up.

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 rescue limp produce like leafy greens or carrots by soaking them in cold water or using them in recipes where appearance doesn't matter.
