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

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 store fresh herbs just like cut flowers in a jar with 1 to 2 inches of water and cover with a plastic bag to maintain moisture. For woody or hardy herbs like rosemary, thyme, sage and chives, I will arrange them lengthwise on a damp paper towel, rolled up, then sealed in a plastic bag and stored in the refrigerator. I will properly store 4 bunches of herbs.

I 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.

I will learn about food storage and store food based on best practices to keep it from spoiling before it is used.
