I will take a fridge and pantry inventory to stay up to date with what I have at home before I go grocery shopping.

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 reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu of meals and ingredients for my household of 2.

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

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.

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 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 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.
