Mae Ypil

I will track the food that my household of 02 throws out so I can learn what we're wasting and why.

I will create a cookbook or recipe collection of go-to meals for my household to make meal planning easier.

I will attend an event from the Save Food, Spend Less Challenge - Calendar of Events.

I will take a fridge and pantry inventory to stay up to date with what I have at home before I go grocery shopping.

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

I will set aside time to prepare meals in advance.

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 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 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.
