I will plan a meal to use up leftovers by creating a tasty smorgasbord or using a recipe that repurposes them.

I will freeze fruits and veggies, such as overripe bananas or avocados, to use later in smoothies.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu of meals and ingredients for my household of 6.

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

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

I will freeze leftover food items or meals for later. The freezer is my food-waste-reduction friend!
