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 organize my refrigerator to maximize shelf life based on the temperature and humidity of different spots.

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

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu of meals and ingredients for my household of 2.

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