When I try a new food or recipe, I will only make a small amount first to make sure my household likes it.

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

I will store 3 meat item(s) properly to ensure that they don't go bad before I can eat them.

I will learn about how to repurpose my leftovers into new meals and then try it.

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

I will store vegetable scraps or bones in my freezer and use them to make veggie stock or bone broth. I will make 2 batches.

I will sign up for Fridge Check Friday emails, sent by Hennepin County but open to everyone, to prompt me to check my fridge for food that needs to be used up and for hacks on storing food to keep it fresh.

I will have a discussion with my 3 children about the importance of not wasting food.
