Cydney Bagne

I will talk to 1 family members or friends about my experience with this challenge, food waste, and what I have learned.

To keep berries fresh, place them on top of a paper towel in a sealed container to absorb excess moisture and reduce chances of molding. I will properly store 1 packs of berries.

I will watch 1 videos or documentaries to learn about the scope and scale of food waste in this country.

I will follow 1 food waste prevention bloggers and influencers to get continuous tips and reminders that I can add to my lifestyle to waste less food.

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 plan a meal to use up leftovers by creating a tasty smorgasbord or using a recipe that repurposes them.

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

I will set aside time to prepare meals in advance.

I will observe how much my family members eat and learn how many portions will match our life stages and appetites.

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.
