I will scale down the recipe of a meal to make just the right amount for my household of 1 so we eat everything up.

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

I will set aside time to prepare meals in advance.

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 reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu of meals and ingredients for my household of 1.

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

In addition to using up my edible food, I will separate and compost my food scraps using backyard composting, curbside pickup, or a drop-off program.

I will watch 1 videos or documentaries to learn about the scope and scale of food waste in this country.

When I restock my fridge or pantry, I will put new items in the back and bring older items to the front to be used first.

I will create an "Eat First" area in my fridge to prioritize food that needs to be used right away for my household of 1.
