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

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.

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 resist the suggestion to buy the quantity advertised on sale and only buy what I know I will eat.

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