Did I look at what I have and what is on sale before making my meal plan for the week? Can I make a meal at home instead of going out to eat?

REFLECTION QUESTIONStorageCanning and pickling food is a great way to have delicious summer fruits and vegetables all year round. What are some foods you would like to preserve and enjoy later?
Emily Casselman 10/01/2026 8:24 AMI tried some quick-pickled red onions and cucumbers this past weekend! They won't be preserved for as long but it was a good experiment to get me started. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONStorageHow has rotating your foods changed your awareness of what you have on hand? Have you changed any of your shopping habits because of this practice?
Emily Casselman 10/01/2026 8:23 AMWhen I rotate foods, I'm more likely to eat the things that are going to expire first. It helps me keep those items top of mind and plan meals around them, rather than going for a frozen item or a dry good that will last longer.
