When life gives me lemons (or other citrus peels), I will use the rinds to make a nontoxic cleaner.

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.

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.

Bigger carts make us feel like we need to fill them! Use a hand basket to improve grocery store discipline and prevent over-purchasing.

I will only purchase the items on my grocery list and avoid impulse purchases.

I will store vegetable scraps or bones in my freezer and use them to make veggie stock or bone broth. I will make 1 batches.
