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

I will track the food that my household of 2 throws out so I can learn what we're wasting and why.

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.
