I will create an "Eat First" area in my fridge to prioritize food that needs to be used right away for my household of 2.

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

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.

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

To keep berries fresh, place them on top of a paper towel in a sealed container to absorb excess moisture and reduce chances of molding. I will properly store 1 packs of berries.

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 store 1 potato(es) in a cool dark place and eat them within two weeks to prevent them from sprouting.
