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

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

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.

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.

I will scale down the recipe of a meal to make just the right amount for my household of 2 so we eat everything up.

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

I will organize my refrigerator to maximize shelf life based on the temperature and humidity of different spots.
