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

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

I will learn about what food is still safe to eat if portions have gone bad and make sure to utilize the edible portions if I can.

I will check to see what will be ready to eat in my garden or CSA box this week and plan recipes that use these ingredients.

If I am missing an ingredient for a recipe I will find a substitute I have on hand and use that instead.

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.

When I restock my fridge or pantry, I will put new items in the back and bring older items to the front to be used first.

In addition to using up my edible food, I will keep any extra scraps out of the trash by separating them for backyard composting, curbside pickup, or a drop-off program.
