I hardly have any trash since I started composting. My family is really conscientious about waste, but all of the peels and cores, etc., go into the compost bin. They really add up!

I love the fall and going to farmers markets. We recently went to an orchard and bought several different types of squash. We have been using them for side dishes.

I have learned what food is safe but I am really terrible at remembering to try and eat the food before it goes bad. I would like to be better at using food before it goes bad.

I took the quiz and got flexible planner which is what I already do. I didn't realize that was a meal planning option. I thought meal planning was just done on one day for the week or the month which I tried and never worked for me. It was nice to learn there are other options and received tools to help me.

Never trust a sale on face value. Most 2 for 1 deals will give you that price on just 1 item if you don't need both.

I volunteer as a food repack lead at second harvest heartland. It's a great way to get food out into the community.

Most weekdays I don't have any motivation in the morning to prep lunch - it has been working out really well to have a stash of pre-parsed out meals in the freezer. Having something healthy and tasty that I can just grab quickly has kept me from (guiltily) eating out for lunch! It's a lot of work (time) on the front end, but I think it's worth it so far. I'm also trying to get better at making overnight oats before going to bed so that I have a similarly hearty/tasty breakfast waiting for me, but I don't always remember.

We make a list before going to the grocery store to plan at least 4-5 meals for the week. We also just started having a day where we make something from the pantry only to use up all the misc boxes and bags.
