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

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

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 buy locally grown food from my grocery store and make 2 meal(s).

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

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.
