I will only purchase the items on my grocery list and avoid impulse purchases.

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 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.

If I am missing an ingredient for a recipe I will find a substitute I have on hand and use that instead.

I will set a timer to keep me on track with kitchen tasks and cooking and baking times so that I don't ruin food.
